This code will allow you to run a Discord bot that is able to query the Steem Global Blacklist API created by witness @themarkymark. This is useful so users will know the blacklists that the abuser is yet to be added thus preventing duplication of efforts in reporting.
The relevant function is as follows:
@bot.command()
async def blacklist_check(user):
"""Queries blacklist status of user using @themarkymark's Blacklist API."""
contents = urllib.request.urlopen("http://blacklist.usesteem.com/user/"+user).read()
bl = (str(contents).split('"blacklisted":[')[1]).split(']')[0]
if bl == '':
await bot.say('@'+user+' is not on any blacklist tracked via the API')
return
else:
blacklists = []
bl = bl.split(',')
for b in bl:
blacklists.append(b.replace('"',''))
await bot.say('@'+user+' is on the following blacklists: ')
for b in blacklists:
await bot.say(b)

- Technology Stack
The following version of Discord.py created by Rapptz, API wrapper for Discord, was used and verified as functional for this project:

- Roadmap
Was considering adding the AccountDoesNotExist exception from Beem but I am not sure if the benefit is worth having an additional dependency. Unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise, think we will keep this as it as.
- How to contribute?
I am on Discord (@anthonyadavisi#5095) and steem.chat (same as my Steem user) and am happy to add any improvements or you can simply add a pull request to the Github repo.
