Just a note ....

[MysteryFCM]

heh just added it, went to the URL you mentioned above (appended the form API key) and it's returning an "Invalid API key" error.

Where does it give me the file to upload to the server btw? (can't see an option for it)

Yep, it's not matching. We're looking at alternative ways to get a reliable IP address because the gethostbyname() function appears to have issues with some records.

The form (file) code isn't ready yet, but we expect to have a prelim version within a day or so. I'll get you a copy as soon as it's available.

[MysteryFCM]

Nice one, cheers

[Mike]

Okay, let's try this again....delete the entry and then add it again. It should come up with the correct IP now.

[MysteryFCM]

Worked perfectly, cheers

Hmmm, I'm not certain, you might want to do it again. I'll have another look in the morning to make sure.

[Mike]

I'll definately need more than 300 per day (the SBST gets in excess of 5000 queries per day on a single site, and I've got it installed on 3 sites so far (no idea of the traffic to them on the other two sites as I don't monitor them)).

Wow, you weren't kidding....we had raised your initial query limit to 800/day, but I noticed first thing this morning that it had already topped out. I just raised it to 5000/day, and I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get overrun again.

[MysteryFCM]

hehe (got the SBST script on a few very high traffic (and consequently, very spammer friendly) sites)

No problem; we'll be glad to help him out.

If you have any sample or development code that you'd like to share, we'd be more than happy to post it or link to it (and credit you, of course).

Hi, I'm new here and have a problem. Today four times I try to get API but get an error:

There was an error creating your API Key entry.

NOTE: Failure to create an API Key may be due to duplicate web site or email addresses. An API Key may be used across an entire domain, so you don't need to create multiple API Keys to use the bot testing code on different pages of your site.

If this error persists, please contact the Administrators and inform them of this problem.

Help me please!

Feel free to post it The code I wrote that checks BS is;

Code: [Select]

// *********************************************************************************
// BEGIN CHECK BOTSCOUT
// *********************************************************************************
//
// Check the e-mail address against BotScout
//
if($mail !='' && $sBSAPI !=''){
$bFoundMatch=false;
$fspamcheck = getURL('http://botscout.com/test/?key='.$sBSAPI.'&mail='.$mail);
if (strpos($fspamcheck, '! ') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = false;
echo 'Error: '.$fspamcheck;
}else{
if (strpos($fspamcheck, 'Y|') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = true;
}
}
if($bFoundMatch==true){
$bsspambot = true;
} // End if($bsxml->appears == 'Y') (Email)
} // End If

//
// Now check the IP
//
if($ip !='' && $sBSAPI !=''){
$bFoundMatch=false;
$fspamcheck = getURL('http://botscout.com/test/?key='.$sBSAPI.'&ip='.$ip);
if (strpos($fspamcheck, '! ') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = false;
echo 'Error: '.$fspamcheck;
}else{
if (strpos($fspamcheck, 'Y|') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = true;
}
}
if($bFoundMatch==true){
$bsspambot = true;
} // End if($bsxml->appears == 'Y') (IP)
        } // End If

//
// Lets check the username
//
if($name !='' && $sBSAPI !=''){
$bFoundMatch=false;
$fspamcheck = getURL('http://botscout.com/test/?key='.$sBSAPI.'&name='.$name);
if (strpos($fspamcheck, '! ') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = false;
echo 'Error: '.$fspamcheck;
}else{
if (strpos($fspamcheck, 'Y|') !==False) {
$bFoundMatch = true;
}
}
if($bFoundMatch==true){
                $bsspambot = true;
} // End if($bsxml->appears == 'Y') (username)
} // End If

if($bsspambot == true){
$spambot = true; // Required seperately now that dumping to a text file is optional
echo 'BotScout ';
}
// *********************************************************************************
// END CHECK BOTSCOUT
// *********************************************************************************
getURL is a function I wrote that allows determination of whether to use cURL or file_get_contents;

Code: [Select]

function getURL($sURL){
if(!function_exists('file_get_contents')){
// Use file_get_contents
$sURLTemp = file_get_contents($sURL);
}else{
// Use cURL (if available)
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $sURL);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$sURLTemp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
}
return $sURLTemp;
}

Great, I'll post this on the download page as well as in a 'Code Samples" thread. Thank you!
