BanCheck

Greetings everyone :D/>,
I have created a way to check if a specific player has been banned on a server, this is possible using the Fishbans API and a JSON API by ElvishJerricco.

Install

pastebin get 4nRg9CHU json

pastebin get 4R0GXpqr bancheck

updated screenshots :D/>

This seems like a nice little utility for server owners, though I don't see any use for general users.

You might want to add a condition to make sure data was returned. When I tried this I typed in 'theoriginalbit' and it errored with bancheck:13: attempt to index ? (a nil value) as my username for Minecraft is TheOriginalBIT. You also may want to see if you can expand to using more ban checking services too for more reliable information.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated :D/>

update: added arguments and username checking

Little bug, your "totalBans" will always stay at zero since it get reset every time the for loop iterate.

  else
    local totalBans = 0                 //-- Added declaration here
    for service, info in pairs(data.bans.service) do
      print("[INFO] Service: "..service.." Bans: "..info.bans)
      totalBans = totalBans + info.bans //-- Removed localization here
    end
    print("[INFO] Total Bans: "..totalBans)
  end
end
