Etherscamdb: Look up Ethereum scam records

Understand the project

Practical overview

Use Etherscamdb when a project needs a source of listed Ethereum scam records, or when contributing structured records to the database.

Consult scam records through the documented API.
Generate database content with the JavaScript command-line tool.
Add or update records containing scam names, URLs, statuses, descriptions, categories or associated Ethereum addresses.

Before you choose

The project documents an API endpoint at https://etherscamdb.info/api/ and publishes its source under the MIT license.

Records may include names, statuses, descriptions, URLs, categories and Ethereum addresses; several fields are optional.
The JavaScript generator requires Node.js, Git and API keys configured in config.js.
The README documents --update for manually updating content and --clean for cleaning old files and folders.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare the JavaScript generator to build the database content.

Clone the EtherScamDB repository and install its dependencies with npm install.
Rename config.exmaple.js to config.js and replace the placeholders with your own keys.
Run node run.js; when it prompts you to update config.js with correct values, do so.
Run node run.js again to generate the content.

The command-line generator builds the database content; the README says the first generation or a clean generation can take a couple of minutes.

The README does not specify which API keys are required.
The documented setup does not describe an application integration or deployment process.
