Added API to check if a Steem UserName is taken

in #witness-category5 years ago

From now, you can query the API /api/steemit/account/validate-user/ to retrieve the status of a steem account name.

For example:

curl -s -X POST "https://steemyy.com/api/steemit/account/validate-user/" -d "id=justyy"

This will return:

{"accountName":"justyy","result":"taken"}

If a username is invalid, e.g.

curl -s -X POST "https://steemyy.com/api/steemit/account/validate-user/" -d "id=123"

This will return:

{"accountName":"123","result":"Account name should start with a letter."}

Otherwise:

curl -s -X POST "https://steemyy.com/api/steemit/account/validate-user/" -d "id=justyy12345"

if a user account is not existent (meaning that it is available)

{"accountName":"justyy12345","result":"good"}


I hope this helps!

Steem On!~

Hi! Did you know that steemit.com is now censoring users and posts based on their opinions?
All the posts of these users are gone!
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/commit/3394af78127bdd8d037c2d49983b7b9491397296

Here's a list of some banned users:
'roelandp', 'blocktrades', 'anyx', 'ausbitbank', 'gtg', 'themarkymark', 'lukestokes.mhth', 'netuoso', 'innerhive'
See anyone you recognize? There could be more, they also have a remote IP ban list.

Will you be censored next?

Thank you for your work on Steem. 👍
