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 justabcd…) - 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.
