Is Ban Checker for Steam safe?
Ban Checker for Steam sends Steam IDs and an API key to Steam's GetPlayerBans API to check player ban status.
When it scans Steam pages, it queries Steam's official GetPlayerBans API with batches of Steam IDs. If you have not supplied your own key, the extension uses one of its bundled fallback Steam Web API keys; otherwise it sends your saved custom key with the request.
