ubuntu-pastebin

DEPRECATED: Since Ubuntu Pastebin now requires a login, it is no longer possible to send anonymous paste data there. This package will no longer be maintained.

A tiny npm package that allows you to paste data to Ubuntu Pastebin. Please be careful not to overload the site with useless data! Paste.ubuntu.com is intended for use as a short-term exchange of pasted information between parties. All submitted data is considered public information. Submitted data is not guaranteed to be permanent, and may be removed at any time. Please do not set up programs to frequently send large amounts of data to the site!

Usage

Install the library by running npm i ubuntu-pastebin.

import {paste} from "ubuntu-pastebin";
paste("this is some content", "my awesome username", "text", "week")
  .then(url => console.log(`paste available at: ${url}`));
