Looking for our Scraping API? Check out the Scraping API documentation.

Xojo announced the 2020 Xojo Design Award winners during a video keynote on March 25, 2020. On July 15, 2020, Xojo released an update for Xojo to run on macOS Big Sur as well as Apple Silicon. Xojo released their new web framework on August 26, 2020 for developing modern, responsive web apps with Xojo. Xojo is a rapid, cross-platform development tool that allows you to build for Mac, Windows, Linux, as well as for web, iOS and Raspberry Pi. The Xojo programming language is both modern and object. Xojo的Mac OS X程序还支持嵌入AppleScript脚本，所嵌入的脚本可以作为工程中的一个全局方法来调用，在Windows上则支持大部分ActiveX控件。Xojo语言通过与VB类似的Declare语句提供对操作系统API和各平台上的动态库、静态库文件中的函数进行直接调用。.

Everybody using our API is required to use a valid Developer API Key. You automatically get a key when you become a member of Pastebin. Please login to your account, and return to this page to find your Developer API Key.

Creating A New Paste

Creating a new paste via our API is very easy. You simply have to send a valid POST request to the url shown below. Please make sure you are sending the data
as the UTF-8 charset. Below is a PHP example using curl how to create a new paste:

$api_dev_key = 'YOUR API DEVELOPER KEY'; // your api_developer_key$api_paste_code = 'just some random text you :)'; // your paste text$api_paste_private = '1'; // 0=public 1=unlisted 2=private$api_paste_name = 'justmyfilename.php'; // name or title of your paste$api_paste_expire_date = '10M';$api_paste_format = 'php';$api_user_key = '; // if an invalid or expired api_user_key is used, an error will spawn. If no api_user_key is used, a guest paste will be created$api_paste_name = urlencode($api_paste_name);$api_paste_code = urlencode($api_paste_code);$url = 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php';$ch = curl_init($url);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'api_option=paste&api_user_key='.$api_user_key.'&api_paste_private='.$api_paste_private.'&api_paste_name='.$api_paste_name.'&api_paste_expire_date='.$api_paste_expire_date.'&api_paste_format='.$api_paste_format.'&api_dev_key='.$api_dev_key.'&api_paste_code='.$api_paste_code.');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);$response = curl_exec($ch);echo $response;

Below is a curl command example how to create a new paste:

curl -X POST -d 'api_dev_key=YOUR API DEVELOPER KEY' -d 'api_paste_code=test' -d 'api_option=paste' 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php'

Creating A New Paste, The 'api_paste_expire_date' Parameter In Detail

We have 9 valid values available which you can use with the api_paste_expire_date parameter:
N = Never
10M = 10 Minutes
1H = 1 Hour
1D = 1 Day
1W = 1 Week
2W = 2 Weeks
1M = 1 Month
6M = 6 Months
1Y = 1 Year

Creating A New Paste, The 'api_paste_private' Parameter In Detail

We have 3 valid values available which you can use with the api_paste_private parameter:
0 = Public
1 = Unlisted
2 = Private (only allowed in combination with api_user_key, as you have to be logged into your account to access the paste)

Creating A New Paste, The 'api_folder_key' Parameter In Detail

With this parameter you can set the destination folder for your paste. Use the 'api_user_key' parameter first before using 'api_folder_key' of your existing folder.

Creating An 'api_user_key' Using The API Member Login System

With this API we allow you to create applications which use the Pastebin members system. Sending a valid POST request to our API login system will return a unique api_user_key which can then be used to create a paste as a logged in user. Please send the request to the link shown below: Include all the following POST parameters when you request the url:
1. api_dev_key - this is your API Developer Key, in your case: YOUR API DEVELOPER KEY
2. api_user_name - this is the username of the user you want to login.
3. api_user_password - this is the password of the user you want to login.
If all 3 values match, a valid user session key will be returned. This key can be used as the api_user_key parameter. Only one key can be active at the same time for the same user. This key does not expire, unless a new one is generated. We recommend creating just one, then caching that key locally as it does not expire.
Below is a PHP example using curl how to create a valid api_user_key:

$api_dev_key = 'YOUR API DEVELOPER KEY';$api_user_name = 'a_users_username';$api_user_password = 'a_users_password';$api_user_name = urlencode($api_user_name);$api_user_password = urlencode($api_user_password);$url = 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_login.php';$ch = curl_init($url);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'api_dev_key='.$api_dev_key.'&api_user_name='.$api_user_name.'&api_user_password='.$api_user_password.');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);$response = curl_exec($ch);echo $response;

Below is a curl command example how to create a valid api_user_key:

curl -X POST -d 'api_dev_key=YOUR API DEVELOPER KEY' -d 'api_user_name=a_users_username' -d 'api_user_password=a_users_password' 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_login.php'

Getting raw paste output of any 'public' & 'unlisted' pastes

This option is actually not part of our API, but you might still want to use it. To get the raw output of any public or unlisted paste you can use our raw data output url: Simply add the paste_key Xojo

at the end of that url and you will get the raw output.
