NodeJS module for Pastebin API
npm install pastebin-reuppastebin-js
===========
> Update 2023-11-22 --- I consider this package to be deprecated. Please install pastedeno for an up to date wrapper for Pastebin! Active development on the current package is halted
NodeJS module to access the Pastebin API
``js`
var PastebinAPI = require('pastebin-js'),
pastebin = new PastebinAPI('devkey');
* getPaste : get a raw paste
* createAPIuserKey : get a userkey for the authenticated user
* listUserPastes : get a list of the pastes from the authenticated user
* getUserInfo : get a list of info from the authenticated user
* listTrendingPastes : get a list of the trending pastes on Pastebin
* createPaste : create a paste
* createPasteFromFile : read a file (UTF8) and paste it
* deletePaste : delete a paste created by the user
`js
var PastebinAPI = require('pastebin-js'),
pastebin = new PastebinAPI({
'api_dev_key' : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'api_user_name' : 'PastebinUserName',
'api_user_password' : 'PastebinPassword'
});
pastebin
.createPasteFromFile("./uploadthistopastebin.txt", "pastebin-js test", null, 1, "N")
.then(function (data) {
// we have successfully pasted it. Data contains the id
console.log(data);
})
.fail(function (err) {
console.log(err);
});
`
PastebinAPI() : Constructor.
`js
var PastebinAPI = require('pastebin-js');
// Without any parameter you can only use getPaste!
var pastebin = new PastebinAPI();
// Provide a developer key as string, this key can be found when logged in.
// This can be found here: http://pastebin.com/api#1
var pastebin = new PastebinAPI('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
// Provide an object containing the api_dev_key, api_user_name and api_user_password
pastebin = new PastebinAPI({
'api_dev_key' : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
'api_user_name' : 'PastebinUserName',
'api_user_password' : 'PastebinPassword'
});
`
pastebin.getPaste(pasteID) : get a raw paste, providing the pasteID
`js`
pastebin
.getPaste('76b2yNRt')
.then(function (data) {
// data contains the raw paste
console.log(data);
})
.fail(function (err) {
// Something went wrong
console.log(err);
})
pastebin.getPaste(pasteID, isPrivate) : get a private paste. Set isPrivate to true. You will need to provide a username & password in your config!
pastebin.getUserInfo() : gets the userinfo
pastebin.listUserPastes(limit) : gets a list of pastes from the user. limit is optional, from 1 - 100 (default: 50)
pastebin.listTrendingPastes() : gets a list of trending pastes on Pastebin
pastebin.createPaste(text, title, format, privacy, expiration) : creates a paste. text is required, other
arguments are optional. For format, privacy and expiration, have a look at lib/config.js for the allowed input.
If privacy is set to 2 or 3, you will need to provide a username && password in the constructor (Pastebin requires a api_user_key)
`js`
pastebin
.createPaste("Test from pastebin-js", "pastebin-js")
.then(function (data) {
// paste successfully created, data contains the id
console.log(data);
})
.fail(function (err) {
// Something went wrong
console.log(err);
})
pastebin.createPasteFromFile(filename, title, format, privacy, expiration) : tries to read the file provided in filename (UTF-8) and paste it. Works the same as previous method.
You can also use an object as the first parameter:
`js
pastebin
.createPaste({
text: "This is a private paste",
title: "Private",
format: null,
privacy: 2,
expiration: '10M'
})
pastebin
.createPasteFromFile({
filename: "./filename.txt",
title: "Public text file listed under my username",
format: null,
privacy: 3,
expiration: '10M'
})
`
The .createPaste and .createPasteFromFile use privacy levels that are listed on the Pastebin API, with one extra added. The following levels are available:
`
0 = Public, anonymous
1 = Unlisted, anonymous
2 = Private, user
3 = Public, user
Keep this in mind when you want to create a paste. Level 2 and 3 are posted under your username on Pastebin (and will need a Username and Password in the constructor, see above)
pastebin.deletePaste(pasteID) : Tries to delete a paste, created by the user
pastebin-js now has synchronous support as well. The following methods are available:
`
.getPasteSync(id, callback)
.createPasteSync(text, title, format, privacy, expiration, callback)
.createPasteSync(object, callback)
.createPasteFromFileSync(filename, title, format, privacy, expiration, callback)
.createPasteFromFileSync(object, callback)
.deletePasteSync(pasteID, callback)
.listUserPastesSync(limit, callback)
.listTrendingPastesSync(callback)
.getUserInfoSync(callback)
The callback will be called with two parameters: `callback(err, data)``
Please, if you find any bugs, or are a way better developer than I am (as in, you are thinking 'spaghetti' when looking at my
code), feel free to create an issue or provide me with some pull requests! This is my first full module ever written for
NodeJS.
