POST API for Hastebin? about haste-server HOT 27 CLOSED

Just adding a comment to this old question:

You can send the stdout of something to hastebin like this:

somecommand | curl --data-binary@- https://hastebin.com/documents

That will return a JSON repsonse that looks something like:

{"key":"oxekofidik"}

And you can turn that into a URL by appending the value to https://hastebin.com. That is, the URL for this example would be https://hastebin.com/oxekofidik. This is an unfortunate api, because it makes hastebin difficult to use from the command line with some code to handle extracting the key from the response and generate a URL.

A simple shell script that handles this might look like:

#!/bin/bash

result=$(curl -sf --data-binary @${1:--} https://hastebin.com/documents) || {
	echo "ERROR: failed to post document" >&2
	exit 1
}

key=$(jq -r .key <<< $result)

echo "https://hastebin.com/${key}"

Assuming the script is named hastebin, running it looks like:

$ echo look ma no hands | hastebin
https://hastebin.com/lubiveyuni

Or:

$ hastebin README.md 
https://hastebin.com/carateheki

It would be useful if hastebin were to implement support for the http PUT method at this endpoint, and then return a URL. This would allow convenient use of curl's -T command line option without any additional wrapper. Posting a file would look like:

curl -Tmyfile https://hastebin.com/documents

And posting stdin would look like:

curl -T- https://hastebin.com/documents

It would also make sense to implement the api on / instead of /documents, because this would reduce the amount of typing by 25%. Support posting over plain http:// and you could just write:

curl -T- hastebin.com

Which would be awesome, and is short enough that it doesn't really make sense to write a dedicated client anymore. In fact, chunk.io does exactly this, and it is super convenient.

Sorry, not sure I understand

How would I want to post a paste without actually going on the website. Something like..

example.com:7777/?data=[the paste]

from haste-server.

curl -XPOST http://hastebin.com/documents -d'like this'

or you should also check out haste-client, a more user-friendly tool:

Is there a way to do this with like, ShareX?

http://code.google.com/p/sharex/

from haste-server.

No one has built a windows file helper like that yet, but I'm sure it's possible
You can create a paste from any computer with an internet connection

This only works on command line, but is a good resource to check out:

from haste-server.

Also if someone ends up creating something like this, I'd be glad to check it over and link from the README

from haste-server.

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but sharex requires an "argument" and the value.
The value is %input since its what the clipboard contains however the argument needs to be a field like thing for hastebin.com that basically writes to a hastebin.
This is what it looks like with a random "name argument"

Sorry if this question is dumb :/ I'm not very into HTTP and webdev.

from haste-server.

Heya - not dumb.
Hastebin doesn't currently support form-data request bodies.
Does ShareX provide a way to have a non-form-data body (just flat text)?
That's what you'd be looking for - if not we can probably re-open this ticket and get this feature in

from haste-server.

Unfortunately not that I know of :/

Thanks tho! Also hastebin is awesome <3

from haste-server.

Thanks - I'll see what I can get together

from haste-server.

{"url":"http://hastebin.com/documents","headers":{"User-Agent":"atom-rest-client","Content-Type":"text/plain; charset=utf-8"},"method":"POST","body":"some text"}

Okay so apparently you need to load it on the RAW output first, then it
loads on the normal website too?

It's been working for me. works for my atom package. https://github.com/ddavison/kinetic

from haste-server.

Thanks for the update @ddavison - and glad it's working!

from haste-server.

Could someone give me an example of how to do this using a form and submitting with PHP?

from haste-server.

I'm trying

curl -XPOST 'http://hastebin.com/documents' -d'hello world'

in macOS, but it returns nothing. It should output the json string to stdout?
