Questions tagged [pastebin]

Pastebin is an online service for hosting text and code excerpts, so-called "pastes". Use this tag only for questions directly related to the Pastebin service or APIs.

Pastebin is a freemium online service for hosting text and code excerpts, so-called "pastes". While it has been widely used for hosting code, the website is open to any type of text content.

When creating a paste, users can enable syntax highlighting for a variety of languages, set a paste expiration, make the pastes private or protect them with a password.

It also features an API enabling developers to send pastes from their applications, as well as a paid scraping API to query the website for recently published content.

How to ask

Use this tag to ask questions directly related to the Pastebin service, such as integrating with the API or sending code to the website.

Do not use this tag for questions which happen to have a code paste in them, but are not strictly related to the Pastebin service itself. These questions only belong to the specific language tags of your problem.
