Check if a User Is a Known Bot

This command checks whether a username is a known bot, using $(customapi) to query Blocklist Buddy, a community-run lookup service covering CommanderRoot’s and TwitchInsights’ known-bot lists.

Note

Blocklist Buddy is a third-party, community-maintained service — not operated by StreamElements. It could change or become unavailable without notice.

1. From the bot command dashboard, open the “Custom commands” tab and click “Add new command”.

2. Name the command bot, and set the reply to:

   $(customapi https://zoeballz.uk/_Blocklist_Buddy/known_bot.php?user=$(sender)&bot=$(1)&channel=$(channel))

3. Click “Activate command”.

Test it with !bot <username>:
