AbuseIPdb_check syntax and usage- Help with AbuseePDB API key

[cybermonday]

The Splunk app AbuseIPdb_check (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4903) is not working as expected after copying the config.json file to this app's local directory and putting my AbuseIPDB API key.

I have tried with syntax as below - 

| makeresults | eval ip="94.201.237.206" | abuseip ipfield=ip

| makeresults | eval ip="94.201.237.206" |abuseip(ip)

The error on Splunk web is -- Error in 'script': Get info probe failed for external search command 'abuseip'. 

i did not find anything relevant as a pointer when checked in Splunk _internal logs for this. 

Under all configuration "abuseip" is mentioned as config type - command with enabled status and global sharing permissions. 

Has it worked for anyone? any direction/solution pointer would be appreciable.

I am having the same issue. Can't seem to find a solution for this one yet.

I'm having similar issues, however strangely enough there are a few times where the script actually works. 
Here is the command that worked (works randomly) for me:

syntax = | abuseip ipfield=<insert field name> 
example = | abuseip ipfield=destip

As far as the error goes, I was able to find these two sources but non of them helped. Might help you out.
