FiveBan

Getting started

A 60-second tour of FiveBan.

1. Run a public lookup

You don't need an account or an API key for casual checks. Visit fiveban.xyz/lookup, paste any of:

  • Discord ID (17–20 digits)
  • FiveM license hash (license:abcd… or just abcd…)
  • Steam ID (steam:1100…)
  • Discord username

You'll see one of three verdicts:

  • 🟢 Clean — no record on file.
  • 🟡 Suspicious — flagged but not yet confirmed by staff.
  • 🔴 Confirmed — actively blacklisted; ban reason and date are public.

Public lookups are rate-limited to ~30 / hour / IP.

2. Get protected automatically

If you run a FiveM server, the public lookup is too manual. There are two deeper integrations:

Option A — Drop in the FiveM resource

The official resource (Lua) checks every joining player against the blacklist and kicks/holds confirmed cheaters before they can play. See FiveM resource.

Option B — Call the JSON API yourself

If you've got custom anti-cheat infra (or you're not on FiveM at all), you can call /api/v1/check directly. See API reference.

Both options need an API key, which you receive after buying a Pro or Business plan via Discord ticket. See Buying & plans.

3. Submit cheaters back

When your staff catches a cheater, run /submitcheater on our Discord server. Reports are reviewed by FiveBan staff and either approved (player is added to the blacklist, all servers are notified) or rejected with a reason.

Cross-server intel is the whole point — the more you contribute, the better the blacklist becomes for everyone.
