We host a public API endpoint that can be used to retrieve bulk data on registered cheaters and cheat-related community bans from various major servers.

For each player in a lookup request, we will return data if they are registered in our cheater database. We will also return data on a player if they have one or more community bans from various major servers with a cheat-related note, even if that player is not a registered cheater in our database.

https://rentamedic.org/api/cheaters/lookup?steamids=76561199557603295,76561199065291928

For the steamids parameter, enter a comma-separated list of up to 100 player identifiers. We accept various Steam ID formats and accept mixed formats in the same request. The response will contain an array of objects with id properties matching the original input and sort order. Invalid identifiers will be ignored and excluded from the response.

Our cheater data is encoded and returned as a JSON object in the following format:

{
    "results": [
        {
            "id": "76561199557603295",
            "cheater": true,
            "cheaterType": "bot",
            "cheaterDate": "2023-10-29T05:27:45.569Z",
            "cheaterMeta": {
                "steamName": "HEXATRONIC",
                "steamAvatar": "https://avatars.steamstatic.com/7d66b851b030afa9e08e08244fa8fac934be30aa_medium.jpg",
                "seenFirstDate": "2023-10-29T05:27:28.520Z",
                "seenLastDate": "2023-10-29T05:27:28.520Z",
                "maps": [
                    "koth_lakeside_event"
                ]
            },
            "communityBans": [
                {
                    "source": "loos",
                    "username": "(12)HEXATRONIC",
                    "description": "[StAC] Banned for cheating",
                    "timestamp": "2023-10-31T14:48:25.000Z",
                    "active": true
                },
                {
                    "source": "phoenixgaming",
                    "username": "HEXATRONIC",
                    "description": "Aimbot",

                    "active": true
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

The results property is an array of PlayerInformation objects whose interface is defined as follows:

{
    id: string;
    cheater: boolean;
    cheaterType?: 'human' | 'bot';
    cheaterDate?: string;
    cheaterMeta?: {
        steamName: string;
        steamAvatar: string;
        seenFirstDate?: string;
        seenLastDate?: string;
        maps: string[];
    };
    communityBans: PlayerCommunityBan[];
}

The cheaterType, cheaterDate, and cheaterMeta properties will only be provided when cheater is set to true. The PlayerCommunityBan interface is defined as follows:

{
    source: string;
    username: string;
    description: string;
    timestamp: string;
    active: boolean;
}

The active property is a boolean indicating whether or not the ban is still active. A value of false in this field indicates a successful appeal or reversal of the ban by the staff of the community server.

The source is one of the following strings. This list may grow or shrink in the future.

• skial
• blackwonder
• ugc
• phoenixgaming
• discff
• panda
• jumpacademy
• thg
• loos
• gfl

Please note that community bans are not inherently trustworthy and even the presence of several cheat-related bans are not conclusive evidence of a cheater. Here at Rent-a-Medic®, what we're primarily interested in from this data is automatic bans from anti-cheat plugins, and their respective detection codes.

We apply post-processing to ban descriptions in some cases, and filter out certain types of descriptions or anti-cheat codes that we deem unreliable. See the "community bans" section further down for more information.

You don't need to sign up or authenticate when using our API. It is free and public.

We currently impose a simple rate limit of 50 requests per 10 seconds. As long as you remain within this limit, you can send as many requests and retrieve as many rows as you wish, with up to 100 identifiers per request.

Please handle 429 status codes and defer further requests for at least 10 seconds. Note that these responses may contain HTML rather than JSON.

Rent-a-Medic® maintains a complete database of community bans from various major servers, and our API provides cached access to a subset of this data that we have deemed to be cheat-related.

We primarily choose servers that have trustworthy anti-cheat plugins. However, their bans are still not always accurate or trustworthy and should never be taken as conclusive evidence. For example, highly accurate plugins can always be tampered with by administrators.

Here is a list of communities that we are currently integrated with:

• Skial
• Blackwonder
• UGC
• Phoenix Gaming
• Disc-FF
• Panda Community
• Jump Academy
• THG
• LOOS
• GFL

We reserve the right to add additional communities, and to remove communities from this list if we determine that they are no longer trustworthy. As part of this determination, we periodically audit each of our integrated communities for cheat-related ban accuracy, and will immediately suspend them from our results if they fail.

Latest update: 17 Feb 2026

Rent-a-Medic® is no longer actively adding new records for cheaters found in matchmaking servers. However, our system is still regularly updating Steam names and avatars for all existing cheaters.

Our community ban database is also updated automatically, and continues to provide real-time data from our selection of community servers. Note that these bans are filtered to only those containing cheat-related reasons. There are currently more than 120,000 records in this database. We may release a download feature soon.
