Checking if player is banned even if he has a private profile #26

As far as i know, this extension can't identify if a player has a vac or ow ban if his profile is set as private. These days i was using rbot (ReportBot.io) to report a player that have a private profile and the rbot show me that he was already ow banned. Maybe this feature can be implemented in this extension.

I'm pretty sure it works with private profiles, can you give me an example profile so I can check it?

This guy is not banned according to Steam API, I'm not sure where ReportBot.io gets its data and if it's accurate.

You can check it yourself (replace API_KEY with your Steam API key): http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerBans/v1/?key=API_KEY&steamids=76561198847341924

Here are some examples where it does work. Private profile - https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198129612890/ Not yet setup profile - https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197985751231

Replace API_KEY with your Steam API key again: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerBans/v1/?key=API_KEY&steamids=76561198129612890,76561197985751231

He's also not banned according to SteamDB and some other third-party websites I checked.

There's also this statement from Valve about report bots. I'll close this issue for now as I don't know how to resolve it (and if it's even possible) but let me know if you have new information, I'm curious.
