I may be mistaken but they have already discussed it in other plugins, such as SMAC and etc.

FACEIT, ESEA, ESPORTAL, GAMERSCLUB, many others no longer make their list of bans visible, or no longer allows this type of verification, so it is unviable to do this implementation.

Faceit displays publicly their bans, and have a free API that seems to allow this kind of use. However, you need to create a server API key

However, as stated in 5.4 Prohibitions on Content:

Unless expressly permitted by the content owner or by applicable law, you will not, and will not permit your end users or others acting on your behalf to, do the following with content returned from the Developer Tools:

Scrape, build databases, or otherwise create permanent copies of such content, or keep cached copies longer than permitted by the cache header;

This could technically forbid our use method if this info is stored into the DB. You might want to reach them on their discord and give their answer here. I don't want to break their rules but it seems more like a 'protection' than a real enforced rule. I think it was meant for people that spams lots of requests, saves them and redistribute them to get around the normal faceit API.

Curiosity, would it be possible to use API Faceit, GamersClub to verify the player on the platform itself?

So instead of using their database, we can check with the API if it is banned on the platform and thus prohibit its entry on the server.

GamersClub has in the API test I did:

{"id":121760,"name":"Rayane","nick":"twitch.tv/Rayanefps","subscription":"FREE","level":14,"rating":2077,"avatar":"https://static.gamersclub.com.br/players/avatar/121760/121760_medium.jpg","background":"https://static.gamersclub.com.br/players/cover/121760/121760.jpg","steamid":"76561198314950340","create_time":"2016-07-04T08:25:06Z","banned":true,"banned_reason":"Conta bloqueada por violação dos Termos de Uso","country":"br"}

Would FACEIT be able to check their API? ESEA too?

It's possible to check the FaceIT API, this plugin does it: https://hlmod.net/resources/faceit-level.1639/

Good... So I believe that for GamersClub and Faceit this feature can be applied.
