API
===
============
API Endpoint
============
dpaste provides a simple API endpoint to create new snippets. All you need to
do is a simple ``POST`` request to the API endpoint ``/api/``::
do is a simple ``POST`` request to the API endpoint, usually ``/api/``:
.. http:post:: /api/
POST http://dpaste.de/api/
Create a new Snippet on this dpaste installation. It returns the full
URL that snippet was created.
**Example request**:
Available POST data for an API call:
====================================
.. code-block:: bash
``content`` (required)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ curl -X POST -F "format=url" -F "content=ABC" https:/dpaste.de/api/
The UTF-8 encoded string you want to paste.
Host: dpaste.de
User-Agent: curl/7.54.0
Accept: */*
``lexer`` (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Example response**:
The lexer string key used for highlighting. See `lexer list`_ for a full list
of choices. Default: ``text``.
.. sourcecode:: json
``format`` (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The format of the API response. Choices are:
* ``default`` — Returns a full qualified URL wrapped in quotes. Example::
"https://dpaste.de/xsWd"
* ``url`` — Returns the full qualified URL to the snippet, without surrounding
quotes, but with a line break. Example::
https://dpaste.de/xsWd\n
* ``json`` — Returns a JSON object containing the URL, lexer and content of the
the snippet. Example::
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
{
"lexer": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
"url": "https://dpaste.de/EBKU",
"content": "ABC"
}
:form content: (required) The UTF-8 encoded string you want to paste.
:form lexer: (optional) The lexer string key used for highlighting. See
the ``CODE_FORMATTER`` property in :ref:`settings` for a full list
of choices. Default: ``_code``.
:form format: (optional) The format of the API response. Choices are:
* ``default`` — Returns a full qualified URL wrapped in quotes.
Example: ``"https://dpaste.de/xsWd"``
* ``url`` — Returns the full qualified URL to the snippet, without surrounding
quotes, but with a line break. Example: ``https://dpaste.de/xsWd\n``
* ``json`` — Returns a JSON object containing the URL, lexer and content of the
the snippet. Example:
.. code-block:: json
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
"lexer": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
``expires`` (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:form expires: (optional) A keyword to indicate the lifetime of a snippet in
seconds. The values are
predefined by the server. Calling this with an invalid value returns a HTTP 400
BadRequest together with a list of valid values. Default: ``2592000``. In the
default configuration valid values are:

* 2592000
* onetime
* never
* 3600
* 604800
* 2592000
:form filename: (optional) A filename which we use to determine a lexer, if
``lexer`` is not set. In case we can't determine a file, the lexer will
fallback to ``plain`` code (no highlighting). A given ``lexer`` will overwrite
any filename! Example:
``filename`` (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code-block:: json
A filename which we use to determine a lexer, if ``lexer`` is not set. In case
we can't determine a file, the lexer will fallback to ``plain`` code (no
highlighting). A given ``lexer`` will overwrite any filename! Example::
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
"lexer": "",
"filename": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
"lexer": "",
"filename": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
This will create a ``python`` highlighted snippet. However in this example:
This will create a ``python`` highlighted snippet. However in this example::
.. code-block:: json
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
"lexer": "php",
"filename": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
{
"url": "https://dpaste.de/xsWd",
"lexer": "php",
"filename": "python",
"content": "The text body of the snippet."
}
Since the lexer is set too, we will create a ``php`` highlighted snippet.
Since the lexer is set too, we will create a ``php`` highlighted snippet.
.. note:: Since ``lexer`` defaults to ``python`` you have to specifically
unset it when using ``filename``.
:statuscode 200: No Error.
:statuscode 400: One of the above form options was invalid,
the response will contain a meaningful error message.
.. hint:: You need to adjust the setting ``DPASTE_BASE_URL`` which is used
to generate the full qualified URL in the API response. See :doc:`settings`.
.. hint:: If yuo have a standalone installation and your API returns
``https://dpaste.de/`` as the domain, you need to adjust the setting
``BASE_URL`` property. See :ref:`settings`.
.. note:: When creating new snippets via the API, they won't be listed on the
history page since they are related to a browser session.

Third party API integration into editors
========================================
Example code snippets:
======================
subdpaste
a Sublime Editor plugin: https://github.com/bartTC/SubDpaste
Marmalade
an Emacs plugin: http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/dpaste_de
atom-dpaste
for the Atom editor: https://atom.io/packages/atom-dpaste
A sample Python 2 script to publish snippets::
You can also paste your file content to the API via curl, directly from the
command line:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib
import urllib2
import sys
def paste_code():
request = urllib2.Request(
'https://dpaste.de/api/',
urllib.urlencode([('content', sys.stdin.read())]),
)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
# Strip surrounding quotes (NB: response has no trailing newline)
print response.read()[1:-1]
if __name__ == '__main__':
paste_code()
You can simply use curl to publish a whole file::
.. code-block:: bash
$ alias dpaste="curl -F 'format=url' -F 'content=<-' https://dpaste.de/api/"
$ cat foo.txt | dpaste
https://dpaste.de/ke2pB
.. note:: If you wrote or know a third party dpaste plugin or extension,
please open an *Issue* on Github_ and it's added here.

The project is intended to run standalone as any regular Django Project,
but it's also possible to install it into an existing project as a typical
Django application.
The code is open source and available on Github:
https://github.com/bartTC/dpaste. If you found bugs, have problems or ideas with
the project or the website installation, please create an *Issue* there.
dpaste requires at a minimum **Python 3.4** and **Django 1.11**.

=========================================
Integrate dpaste into an existing project
=========================================
Install the latest dpaste release in your environment. This will install all
necessary dependencies of dpaste as well::
pip install dpaste
Add ``dpaste.apps.dpasteAppConfig`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``::
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# ...
'dpaste.apps.dpasteAppConfig',
)
Add ``dpaste`` — and if you want — the ``dpaste_api`` to your urlpatterns::
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ...
url(r'pastebin/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste')),
url(r'pastebin/api/', include('dpaste.urls.dpaste_api')),
)
Finally just migrate the database schema::
manage.py migrate dpaste
Purge expired snippets
======================
Do not forget to setup a cron job to purge expired snippets. You need to
run the management command ``cleanup_snippets``. A cron job I use looks like::
30 * * * * /srv/dpaste.de/bin/python /srv/dpaste.de/bin/manage.py cleanup_snippets > /dev/null
Note also that dpaste does *not* come with Django admin integration. You need
to setup an register the models in an ``admin.py`` yourself.
.. note::
For further customization see :doc:`settings`.

Installation for local development
==================================
Local development is done with `pipenv`_ to maintain packages.
Installation::
$ cd dpaste/
$ npm install
$ pipenv install --dev
Copy the settings file and edit it, to meet your needs::
$ cp dpaste/settings/local.py.example dpaste/settings/local.py
$ nano dpaste/settings/local.py
Run the testsuite::
$ pipenv run ./runtests.py
To run the project on your local machine::
$ pipenv run ./manage.py migrate
$ pipenv run ./manage.py runserver
Testing
=======
dpaste is continuously tested on Travis_. You can also run the test
suite locally with tox_::
$ cd dpaste/
$ pip install tox
$ tox
A more manual approach is installing it all by hand in a virtual environment.
This is also the preferred way to setup an environment for local development::
$ cd dpaste/
$ pipenv install --dev
$ pipenv run ./runtests.py

Management Commands
===================
.. _purge_expired_snippets:
Purge expired snippets
======================
dpaste ships with a management command ``cleanup_snippets`` that removes
expired snippets. To run it locally do:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pipenv run ./managepy cleanup_snippets
Options
-------
--dry-run Does not actually delete the snippets.
This is useful for local testing.
Setup a Crontab
---------------
It's important that you setup a crontab or similar to remove expired snippets
as soon as they reach their expiration date. A crontab line might look like:
.. code-block:: bash
*/5 * * * * /srv/dpaste.de/pipenv run manage.py cleanup_snippets > /dev/null
.. note:: If you use the *database* session backend, you may also need to setup
a crontab that removes the expired entries from the session database.

==============================================
Standalone Installation (or local development)
==============================================
.. important:: This documentation describes the installation of dpaste
as a standalone project, primarily for local development. If you want
to integrate the application into your existing Django project, see
:ref:`project_installation`.
The project uses `pipenv`_ to maintain and install dependencies. Install it
once globally with pip:
.. code:: bash
$ pip install pipenv
Then checkout the Git project code from Github and install the Node and
Python dependencies.
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd dpaste/
$ pipenv install --dev # Installs the project and Python dependencies
$ npm install # Installs the node dependencies and compiles
# the static files (JS/CSS).
Copy the sample settings file and edit it, to meet your needs:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cp dpaste/settings/local.py.example dpaste/settings/local.py
Run the testsuite to make sure everything was built correctly:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pipenv run ./runtests.py
Finally, to run the project on your local machine:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pipenv run ./manage.py migrate
$ pipenv run ./manage.py runserver
If this is a public, standalone installation, make sure you purge
the expired snippets regularly. See :ref:`purge_expired_snippets`.
CSS and Javascript development
==============================
Both CSS and Javascript files need to be compiled and compressed. The resulting
files are not commited with the project code.
There are some helper scripts you can invoke with ``npm``
``npm start``
Compile the static files and run the Django runserver.
``npm run build``
Compile static files.
``npm run build-js``
Compile only JS files.
``npm run build-css``
Compile only CSS files.
``npm run watch-css``
Same as ``build-css`` but it automatically watches for changes in the
CSS files and re-compiles it.
``npm run docs``
Compile this documentation. The result will be in ``docs/_build/html``.
``npm run watch-docs``
Same as ``docs`` but it automatically watches for changes in the
documentation files and re-compiles the docs.
.. note:: See ``npm run --list`` for the full and most recent list of
helper scripts.
Testing with Tox
================
dpaste is continuously tested online with Travis_. You can also run the test
suite locally with tox_. Tox automatically tests the project against multiple
Python and Django versions.
Similar to ``pipenv`` it's useful to have tox installed globally:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install tox
Then simply call it from the project directory.
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd dpaste/
$ tox
.. code-block:: text
