Jill, did you review the Pastebin API? Posting to Pastebin requires an application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST format.

My little Pastebin API I made a while ago:


local API='http://www.pastebin.com/api/api_post.php';

local HTTPService=game:service'HttpService';

local strf=string.format;

function pastebin_get(paste_id)
    return HTTPService:getAsync(
        strf('http://www.pastebin.com/raw.php?i=%s',tostring(paste_id)),
        true
    );
end;

function pastebin_post(dev_key,user_key,paste_name,paste_code)
    local Data={
        'api_option=paste';
        strf('api_user_key=%s',tostring(user_key));
        'api_paste_private=1';
        strf('api_paste_name=%s',HTTPService:UrlEncode(
            tostring(paste_name or 'Misc'))
        );
        'api_paste_expire_data=N';
        'api_paste_format=lua';
        strf('api_dev_key=%s',tostring(dev_key));
        strf('api_paste_code=%s',HTTPService:UrlEncode(
            tostring(paste_code))
        );
    };
    Data=table.concat(Data,'&');
    local Result=HTTPService:postAsync(API,Data,2);
    print('Results: '..Result);
    return(Result);
end;

The dev_key is your developer key on Pastebin. Note, this may not work, for I just fixed it.(I don't use it, I have my own site to hold data)

So your local API Would be my API? Or my paste? MessorAdmin 598 — 9y

Um, no. The API would be the Pastebin API PHP script page. :L Read the API article on Pastebin, please. It is not possible to edit a paste, though you can get it's contents, delete it, and repost it with the new data. Diitto 230 — 9y
