## About

`pinnwand` is Python pastebin software that tried to keep it simple but got
a little more complex.

Prerequisites
=============
* Python >= 3.8
* Tornado
* sqlalchemy
* click
* docutils
* tomli
* pygments-better-html
* a database driver

Usage
=====

Web
---
Enter text, click "Paste", easy enough.

steck
-----
[steck](https://github.com/supakeen/steck) is a command line client to pinnwand instances:

```
€ pip install --user steck
...
€ steck paste *
You are about to paste the following 7 files. Do you want to continue?
- LICENSE
- mypy.ini
- poetry.lock
- pyproject.toml
- README.rst
- requirements.txt
- steck.py

Continue? [y/N] y

Completed paste.

Removal link: https://localhost:8000/remove/TS2AFFIEHEWUBUV5HLKNAUZFEI
```

curl
----
`pinnwand` has a direct endpoint for `curl` users:

```
€ echo "foo" | curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/curl -F 'raw=<-'
Paste URL:   http://localhost:8000/OE
Raw URL:     http://localhost:8000/raw/GU
Removal URL: http://localhost:8000/remove/GQBHGJYKRWIS34D6FNU6CJ3B5M
€ curl http://localhost:8000/raw/GU
foo%
```

This will preselect the `lexer` and `expiry` arguments to be `text` and
`1day` respectively. You can provide those to change them.

API
---
`pinnwand` provides a straight forward JSON API, here's an example using the
common requests library:

```
>>> requests.post(
...     "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/paste",
...     json={
...             "expiry": "1day",
...             "files": [
...                     {"name": "spam", "lexer": "python", "content": "eggs"},
...             ],
...     }
... ).json()
{'link': 'http://localhost:8000/74', 'removal': 'http://localhost:8000/remove/KYXQLPZQEWV2L4YZM7NYGTR7TY'}
```

More information about this API is available in the [documentation](https://pinnwand.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).


More ways to use pinnwand
-------------------------
Various deprecated ways of posting are still supported, don't implement these
for any new software but if you are maintaining old software and want to know
how they used to work you can read our documentation_.

If you do use a deprecated endpoint to post a warning will be shown below any
pastes that are created this way.
