Bulk report when integrated with fail2ban

[Shadok]

Hello,

Thanks for the project :)

Is there a way to bulk report when integrated with fail2ban ?
It would help if we had a way, using banaction, to tell abuseipdb-cli to fill a csv file, then we only would have to send it once a day using cron.

When there is a report each time there's a ban, i often get a 429 error.

Thanks.

Hello,
Glad you like this project :)

The bulk report command exists, but expects an existing file and there is for now no command to prepare that csv file, sorry. I never reached limits so never used the bulk report in real life. But It's a good idea.

I do not promise anything. Thinking out loud, I could create:

• a command to prepare blank csv file with headers in defined order
• a command to fill in an existing csv file (same parameters and filter than report command) to use in banaction.

Duplicates will be handled by API.

End user will be responsible to send and erase/remove file using cron.

Supposes a file name as parameter or to be defined in config.

The only one "difficulty" will be to check and what to do when the file will reach limit (2MB or 10000 lines). Fill in as many files as needed?

Again I do not promise anything but feel free to comment if you think to something else.

Sadly, i reach the limit in less than half a day, with two vps :)

Regarding the files, yes it would need to create more than one when the limit is reached.
Or the file could be submitted, then emptied to start from scratch for the next entries.
