Badips.com now has https enabled so your script can verify download properly.

How do you get AbuseIPDB to work with this script?

I've been using this script instead. https://github.com/AmplitudeDesignInc/abuseipdb-php-nginx-blacklist-create Works well.

I have a suggestion to update the script to use https://www.abuseipdb.com/. Just replace everything up to the 2nd wget with the following. You can view any errors in /tmp/badips.txt

# Assign values to the variables
key="ABC123_REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY"
_input="/tmp/badips.txt"

# Send the output of the curl command to the $_input file.
curl -G https://api.abuseipdb.com/api/v2/blacklist \
-d confidenceMinimum=90 \
-d plaintext \
-H "Key: ${key}" \
-H "Accept: application/json" > ${_input}

# Check to see if the curl command failed.
if [[ ${?} -ne 0 ]]
then
  echo "Unable to download ip list."
  exit 1
fi

# If the $_input file contains the text "error", then we do NOT have a list of ip addresses.
grep -i error ${_input} >/dev/null

if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]
then
  echo "Error downloading ip list."
  exit 1
fi

Perfect. Thanks for the suggestion. Just a note, I think abuseipdb.com allows to download a list 5 times day only with a free account.

Correct, otherwise you will get:

{"errors":[{"detail":"Daily rate limit of 5 requests exceeded for this endpoint. See headers for additional details.","status":429}]}

It’s working with the above changes but something is breaking after a subsequent run. I get this error:

expr: syntax error: missing argument after ‘-’
tail: invalid number of lines: ‘/etc/hosts.deny’

And what I see is the last line of /etc/hosts.deny ends with:

ALL: 51.75.142.24# ##### END badips.com Block List #####

That comment from the first hashtag should be on a line by itself. When the comment is appended to the end of the last IP address that’s when the above error happens. So something in the update script is causing this after it runs correctly.

I haven't tried it yet. But if I recall make sure you add a newline after the last non-empty line.
