Pastebinrb

Pastebinrb allows to use the Pastebin API to send Pastebins via Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pastebinrb'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pastebinrb

Usage

Adding the Gem in your Ruby program

require 'pastebinrb'

Initializing the Pastebin object

p = Pastebinrb::Pastebin.new "devkey"

Where devkey is replaced by the key provided on Pastebin on this page: Developers API

Send a Pastebin

p.paste_content("content")

Where content is the text content you want to send. Returns the Pastebin URL :

=> "https://pastebin.com/3Kwu11Mv"

Send a Pastebin with more options

A list of possible options when sending a Pastebin.

:title

The title of the Pastebin sent, not to leave "untitled" by default.

:format

The formatting of the Pastebin, by default "text", is used to add syntax highlighting. The list of available formats is in the Pastebin API documentation here: The 'api_paste_format' Paramater In Detail

:expire_delay

Set an expiration time for the Pastebin among those available (if unspecified, never by default). Use the constants defined for this purpose in Pastebinrb::Expiration

[
  :NEVER,
  :MINUTE_10,
  :HOUR_1,
  :DAY_1,
  :WEEK_1, :WEEK_2,
  :MONTH_1, :MONTH_6,
  :YEAR_1
]

p.paste_content(
  "def hello_world; puts \"Hello World !\"; end",
  title: "Hello World",
  format: "ruby",
  expire_delay: Pastebinrb::Expiration::NEVER
)

Returns the Pastebin URL :

=> "https://pastebin.com/uSyjtP8z"

Read a Pastebin

p.get_raw("https://pastebin.com/uSyjtP8z")
# or
p.get_raw("uSyjtP8z")
