API

Basic usage

Require it in your project:

var fpaste = require("fpaste");

Make a paste:

fpaste.post("This is my paste", function(err, res){
    console.log(res.url);
    // => http://fpaste.org/123456
});

Retrieve a paste:

fpaste.get(123456, function(err, res){
    console.log(res.result.data);
    // => "This is my paste"
});

List recent public pastes:

fpaste.list(function(err, res){
    console.log(res.result.pastes);
    // => [{"name": "paste_1", id: "123456"}...]
});

fpaste commands return the full fpaste.org response if the -v / --verbose flag if used.

Getting a paste's contents:

$ fpaste -i 123456
