Introducing Pastebin API

Pastebin is a website where users can store and share codes with others. It provides an API for developers to interact with the platform programmatically. This blog will cover the basics of the Pastebin API and provide example code in JavaScript.

Getting started with Pastebin API

To use the API, you will need to sign up for a Pastebin account and get an API key. You can get an API key by visiting the Developer API documentation. You can then use this API key to make requests to the Pastebin API.

Pastebin API in JavaScript

Here are a few examples of how to use the Pastebin API in JavaScript:

Creating a new paste

const axios = require('axios');
const data = {
    api_dev_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    api_option: "paste",
    api_paste_code: "console.log('Hello, world!');",
    api_paste_name: "My New Paste",
    api_paste_expire_date: "N"
}
axios.post('https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php', data)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

Listing pastes for a user

const axios = require('axios');
const data = {
    api_dev_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    api_option: "list",
    api_user_key: "USER_API_KEY"
}
axios.post('https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php', data)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

Getting paste information

const axios = require('axios');
const data = {
    api_dev_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
    api_option: "show_paste",
    api_paste_key: "PASTE_KEY"
}
axios.post('https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php', data)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });
