The Global Blacklist API is now available. It is a personal project I worked on to provide a consumable API interface to my blacklist as well as other blacklist projects.

Projects can choose which blacklists they want to use and are not limited to just my blacklist. For example SteemCleaner's real-time list available as well.

Supported Blacklists

BuildAWhale
SteemCleaners
MinnowBooster
Utopian (soon)
Smartsteem (soon)

Queries to the Global Blacklist API will provide a response listing all blacklists the user is on. If we add a blacklist in the future, no code changes will be required.

Projects that use my blacklist

BuildAWhale
SteemHunt
SteemPress
SteemCleaners
Minnow Booster
Post Promoter
brandonfrye
Steemflagrewards

There are likely more projects already using my blacklist but I do not know about it.

Usage

Using the Global Blacklist API is really simple and there is currently only one endpoint. The blacklisted attribute is a list that includes all blacklists a user is on. An empty list means the user is not currently on a blacklist.

Endpoint

http://blacklist.usesteem.com/

/user/{username}/

Method: GET
Description: Query Global Blacklist API for Steem user status
Example: http://blacklist.usesteem.com/user/scobra
Sample Response:
{"user":"scobra","blacklisted":["steemcleaners","buildawhale","minnowbooster"]}
