What is the Hive Global Blacklist API?
The Global Blacklist API is a service provided by witness @themarkymark. The API enables products and services to query multiple blacklists to reduce spam and abuse.
The API is free to use and is in use by over 50% of projects, including Hive.blog & Peakd.com.
Hive Support
The Global Blacklist API has been ported to Hive and has been fully functionality since the hard fork. It is being used by Hive.blog & Peakd.com and can see when a user is blacklisted by visiting their profile or any post or comment by the user.
You can reach the Hive Global Blacklist API here: https://blacklist.usehive.com
Currently, the Global Blacklist API supports the following blacklists:
- BuildAWhale
- SteemCleaners (Being renamed)
- Redeemer
- MinnowBooster
- Actifit
- D-Tube
- Plenty of Phish
- Irredeemables
- Spaminator
- 3Speak
- All Steem Engine Tribes (Disabled until migration)
