AbuseIPDB Integration module

lynbor:

Running ZC 2.1.0

Installed Access Blocker. Struggled to get email verification to work. Ended up using a different email address which then worked. (strange) Anyway, now I'm going over the settings in ZenCart Admin and noticed. (see attached) Basically it wants a user id number from the URL at AbuseIPDB which no longer displays a user ID in the URL. So this seems to be outdated and needs correction or deletion. Or the instructions updated to be useful in finding this information for the field.

As the person who wrote that in for AbuseIPDB, the instructions are fine and is relative to the AbuseIPDB site. When you click on the View link here:

You will find your AbuseIPDB userID number which is what that prompt is asking for.

Which site did you sign up for and which module did you install? It sounds like you signed up for one site and then you installed the other.

Looking at your response in the Access Blocker thread... Okay. Which site did you complete the registration for the account on?

@everyone
Just for interest - which treshold score do you have set?
I'm at 40 now

I'm at threshold of 45 but I also use Access Blocker which often catches script kiddies who have the same messages but change IP addresses.

I initially posted in the wrong support thread. AbuseIPDB is what I installed and used its links for getting the API.

And the "Public View" gives the same results, no ID number in the URL as the setting page in ZenCart that I included a screen shot of gives examples of. Thinking maybe a browser add-on or setting might be masking the number I tried using a different browser to access my account at AbuseIPDB but no difference. The URL simply shows "webdomain/account" nothing more as far as an ID number.

I have no idea you're not getting the ID because I can click the View and see my URL as "https://www.abuseipdb.com/user/139879". Let's try this.

Do you see the option for "Contributor Badge"? If you have that, click on that tab in your User Account Summary area after logging in. There should be a HTML Markup window in that area. You should see an img src tag that looks like this (for me) :

<a href="https://www.abuseipdb.com/user/139879" title="AbuseIPDB is an IP address blacklist for webmasters and sysadmins to report IP addresses engaging in abusive behavior on their networks">
    <img src="https://www.abuseipdb.com/contributor/139879.svg" alt="AbuseIPDB Contributor Badge" style="width: 401px;">
</a>

From that block the numbers next to "user/" and "contributor/" should be your user ID. If you don't see that... something was not verified and you're not getting an ID because you did not verify either your account or ownership of your domain.

It should also be said that this portion is 100% OPTIONAL. It's only there to boost your ability to report to about 5000 and flag your account as Webmaster and Supporter. You only need "Webmaster" to get API access I believe.

Do you have entered the "AbuseIPDB - User ID" ?
I can't find it at their website.

I see at the logs that an IP has been abandoned via API.
Then ~6 hours later this IP shows up again and is again? blacklisted via API (as the logs suggest).

Is it possible to test so if I would use this bad IP?
The test mode seems to do something different.

No. You don't need to use the AbuseIPDB-User ID. This is only if you want the Abuse IPDB Contributor Badge to appear in your backend to grant you the Webmaster+Supporter status so that you can check and report on 5000 IPs a day instead of 1000 IPs a day.

In order for the module to work however, you need to input the API Key from the API section.

Also please read my last response with regards to Contributor Badge. That is another way to see your Profile ID.

Thank you.
I just wasn't sure how to deal with it.
And today there's no id I could extract of the url as said in the settings of my version (even if I wanted to do so).
Maybe they have changed that?!

I'm going to create a new account because I'm not seeing how the User ID isn't viewable in the URL bar. I might have opted into something and not realize it.

EDIT: That was hella fast. Made a new account as a webmaster AND individual. I can click on the "View" link and see the URL to the new profiles and have the Contributor Badge tab too. (Didn't need to verify either one. Just made it and on the dashboard, I'm provided a link to the profile (the view link) and I can see it in the next page.)

What am I seeing that anyone else on this thread isn't as far as how to get your profile ID?

For the sake of example:

After clicking on the View Profile link on the main AbuseIPDB dashboard just as you load in (of an unverified account I just made). I see the following:

That number at the end of the URL bar is the profile ID number to be inserted into the admin dashboard where prompted. Is no one else seeing this when you log in or am I overcomplicating things?

I can falsify that.
I have just a clean basic url or any subfolders e.g. /report/ or /bulk-report/ and so on.
But no url paramaters.

Where are you looking exactly? Like what does your member area of the AbuseIPDB website look like just after you log in?

Can you visit the member area. The top right hand corner, click Account. And there should be a box that has a link to "View Profile". What you showed is the main abuseipdb.com when you visit. After you log in, you're taken immediately to the dashboard/account area.

In my case this is the "account" triggered page. On right top dropdown trigger there would just else be the "logout" link.

And at this page is no "view profile" string.

BTW: my profile is set to "private". That shouldn't be relevant but just for completeness.

AHA Okay! When the profile is privated, it doesn't show you the view link.

Very well. Visit the Contributor Badge and follow what I said here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?229438-AbuseIPDB-Integration-module&p=1405052#post1405052

The other option would be temporarily make it viewable... click the link, get the ID, input the ID, then toggle your profile private again. I guess I have to change the help text.

Perhaps it was the holidays or maybe my account just need to be "approved" but I looked again today after returning from vacation and viola it is showing in the "Public View" URL as indicated by a previous message in this thread. Whew... All is good and I'm seeing stats and such so I'm all fixed for now. Thanks to everyone for putting up with me here. Cheers! And may you all have a very good 2025.
