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)
