How to publicly show my spammers list

I want to make a script to scrape this site's "my spammer list" of spammers we purged and output it to a spammers page on our forum for public display.

A couple things:

1) Would the constant scraping of stopforumspam result in denial of an http request?
2) How exactly can i use the API to scrape all my spammers? the usage page shows in a case of a single IP or such but not scraping hundreds or thousands of spammers content per request.

Hi.

Well, perhaps would it be better to modify your SFS plugin to create this information locally ?
By verifying if the submission was accepted, you should be in synch with the SFS database of your submissions ...

Yes. Plus removal of your account here (including all your reported spammers) + a permanent ban.

Just do not do it. Cache information you collect locally. That is called decent internet behaviour.

WRT publishing your spammers list on your site: I can think of at least five reasons why you might not want to do that either.

I don't get it. Why not just downloaded the ip listings they provide here? Am I missing something?
