I-Blocklist-Builder

A simple, yet effective script to combine available blocklists from the I-Blocklist API.

Usage

The I-Blocklist-Builder.sh script supports creating a combined blocklist in multiple ways. By default, it combines all freely available blocklists listed on the I-Blocklist API. If you have an I-Blocklist subscription, you can provide your username and PIN via the -u and -p options, respectively. When subscription authentication credentials are supplied, the script will also include all blocklists which require s subscription in addition to the free blocklists. The script also supports different levels of output verbosity specified, in increasing order, by -q, -e, -w, and -x.

Command Line Arguments

Option	Name	Description
-u	Username	Required for subscription lists
-p	API PIN	Required for subscription lists
-q	Quiet	Display no runtime information
-e	Error	Display only unrecoverable errors
-w	Warns	Display warnings along with errors
-x	Extra	Display extra runtime information
