Pastery

Pastery includes a very simple API that you can use for integration with editors and other programs.

Duration for "never"

I found this here

26280000

According to the developer the pastery api does not have an option for never expire. What may work is using the parameter duration: 26280000, this results in a paste of about 50 years.

Creating a paste

POST https://www.pastery.net/api/paste/
    ?api_key=<api_key>
    &duration=<duration>
    &title=<title>
    &language=<language>
    &max_views=<max_views>

The text to be pasted should be included in the raw POST body, and encoded as UTF-8. The trailing slash in the URL is important!

Parameters:

  • api_key: The API key of the user whom the paste will belong to. You can get this from your account page.

  • duration [optional]: The duration, in minutes, that this paste will live for. After duration minutes, the paste is deleted. The default duration is 30 days.

  • title [optional]: The title of the paste (max 200 chars).

  • language [optional]: The alias of the programming language that the paste is written in. A list of languages is below. If this is omitted or invalid, the language will be autodetected.

  • max_views [optional]: The number of views allowed before the paste expires. Set it to 0 or omit it for no view-based expiration.

Command-line example

Here's how you can upload a paste from a file called data.txt using curl:

$ curl -X POST https://www.pastery.net/api/paste/?title=Sample+data&api_key=mykey --data-binary @data.txt
{"url": "https://www.pastery.net/yfbfgg/", "duration": 1440, "title": "Sample data", "language": "python"}

or:

$ curl https://www.pastery.net/api/paste/ -F file=@data.txt
{"url": "https://www.pastery.net/yfbfgg/", "duration": 1440, "title": "Sample data", "language": "python"}
