Hey @isaac309
On line 10, you need to replace APIKEYGOESHERE with your Steam API key

You can get a Steam API key from here- http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

Yes I added the apikey to local and still a [sahaddon] addons/sahaddon/lua/sv_bans.lua:103: FamilySharing: Invalid Steam API response for |

I've updated the code to have some better logging and error handling.
Could you update your copy of the code @isaac309 ?

Yes! The new code was a success erased the error. Thought it maybe could've been the firewall off the localhost, but it cleared right up! Thank you!

This no longer works as Valve have removed the API endpoint
