What is the correct way to access the API

Author: B.Meetin2 (23 Nov 23 11:13pm)

I looked through the docs but it seem I'm doing something wrong in attempting to use the AP and get a response. To be clear I am referring to Http:BL API. I obtained the 12 digit key.

The FAW says rluilwyouaez.7.1.1.127.dnsbl.httpbl.org

Given an ip address of 999.888.777.666 I set up as $my_key.666.777.888.999.dnsbl.httpbl.org

When I visit the page as https://www.projecthoneypot.org/$my_key.666.777.888.999.dnsbl.httpbl.org it redirects to a project page.

or direct

$my_key.666.777.888.999.dnsbl.httpbl.org it takes me to a directory listing page of the ip acress.

[DIR] bin/ 2023-11-23 08:06 -
[ ] config.php 2022-08-13 10:13 246

Either way I don't seem to be getting the correct response in the script. This doesn't work as expected:

$response = file_get_contents($honeypot_url); // the above urls
if ($response == '127.0.0.1') {
...
}

Can someone point me in the right direction.

It's a DNS service, so you'll want to run a DNS query on $my_key.666.777.888.999.dnsbl.httpbl.org

It's not a website, and it isn't an HTTP API.
