Pastebinner

Check out the examples folder for some examples. I will add more soon.

Usage

Set these three environment variables:

pastebin_api_key
pastebin_username
pastebin_password

If you want to scrape pastes, you can view a json response of the latest pastes by using the -s or --scrape_public options. Creating pastes is built in, check lib/pastebinner.rb, I am still working on adding in the functionality to use it on the command line. The command line app can be used as follows:

pastebinner --help
Usage: pastebinner [options]
    -h, --help                       Show this help messae
    -s, --scrape_public              Scrape public pastes
    -r, --raw                        Raw paste. Requires --key passed with a valid key
    -g, --get_keys                   Get unique paste keys from public pastes
    -k, --key=                       Unique paste key
    -d, --download                   Download all public pastes to data directory
    -t, --trending                   Trending pastes

Downloading pastes

Create a directory in the git repo named data, this is where the raw pastes will be stored. Here is an example of what it looks like:

pastebinner --download
Downloading paste data into the data directory...
Complete.

The data directory will then be populated with pastebin raw paste files with the following naming scheme:

pastebin_paste_key_agiArDuG  pastebin_paste_key_f9sZ4zfZ  pastebin_paste_key_kkS48wHT  pastebin_paste_key_rjxNDUbN  pastebin_paste_key_vu5HSagJ  pastebin_paste_key_ZZrUy4Fa
pastebin_paste_key_AHMT1YSC  pastebin_paste_key_f9Zn6FWf  pastebin_paste_key_kLVdVpTW  pastebin_paste_key_rLDbHTZN  pastebin_paste_key_vv6R1Dz4
