PostBin

A simple package that allows you to post to haste services.

Features:

• "fallback" system, meaning your pastes always succeed
• async and sync functionality
• literally instant setup - see execution

Why this exists

There's no real need for a full-fledged module for simply creating pastes. So, I think a quick 2 function module does the trick far easier.

Note: v2 would like to disagree

[backwards] Compatibility

While postbin tries to support all versions, nothing is guaranteed. So far, we actively support python 3.6 through to 3.9, however always check the below table and find your version. if its a check mark, it is supported and will work.

1.x:

Version	Supported	EOL
3.9	✅	N/A
3.8	✅	N/A
3.7	✅	N/A
3.6	✅	N/A
3.5	❌	N/A

2.0.1a:

Version	Supported	EOL
3.9	✅	N/A
3.8	✅	N/A
3.7	✅	N/A
3.6	✅	N/A
3.5	❌	N/A

Alternatively, install through pip (below) - pip releases are always guaranteed to be stable on 3.8-3.9.

Installing

from pip:

$ [python3 -m] pip install postbin

or from git:

$ [python3 -m] pip install git+https://github.com/dragdev-studios/PostBin.git
# OR
$ git clone https://github.com/dragdev-studios/PostBin.git
$ cd postbin
$ python[3] setup.py build && python[3] setup.py install

Execution

from within a script:

import postbin
# Async app
async def main():
    url = await postbin.postAsync(f"FooBar Bazz")
    print(f"Your paste is located at {url}")


# Sync app
def mainSync(): 
    url = postbin.postSync(f"FooBar Bazz 2")
    print(f"Your paste is located at {url}")

Want your haste service to be a fallback?

Make sure all of the following are true:

1. POST /documents with a text/plain body returns JSON {"key": "url_part"} or {"url": "new_url"}
2. Ratelimit is greater than or equal to 5/5s
3. Ratelimit response is JSON (html is only allowed in extreme circumstances, like if cloudflare responds instead.). x-ratelimit-reset-after response headers can be used in replacement of body if required.
4. GET /raw/:key returns the text/plain content of the key
5. HEAD /:key or HEAD /:raw/key or HEAD /documents[/:key] returns a 200 response, or other information response regarding the status of the service, rather than 404 for not found/
