pinnwand is Python pastebin software that tried to keep it simple but got
a little more complex.
- Python >= 3.8
- Tornado
- sqlalchemy
- click
- docutils
- tomli
- pygments-better-html
- a database driver
Enter text, click "Paste", easy enough.

pinnwand has a direct endpoint for curl users:
€ echo "foo" | curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/curl -F 'raw=<-'
Paste URL: http://localhost:8000/OE
Raw URL: http://localhost:8000/raw/GU
Removal URL: http://localhost:8000/remove/GQBHGJYKRWIS34D6FNU6CJ3B5M
€ curl http://localhost:8000/raw/GU
foo%
This will preselect the lexer and expiry arguments to be text and
1day respectively. You can provide those to change them.
pinnwand provides a straight forward JSON API, here's an example using the
common requests library:
>>> requests.post(
... "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/paste",
... json={
... "expiry": "1day",
... "files": [
... {"name": "spam", "lexer": "python", "content": "eggs"},
... ],
... }
... ).json()
{'link': 'http://localhost:8000/74', 'removal': 'http://localhost:8000/remove/KYXQLPZQEWV2L4YZM7NYGTR7TY'}
More information about this API is available in the documentation.
Various deprecated ways of posting are still supported, don't implement these for any new software but if you are maintaining old software and want to know how they used to work you can read our documentation_.
If you do use a deprecated endpoint to post a warning will be shown below any pastes that are created this way.
Bugs are reported best at pinnwand's project page on github. If you just
want to hang out and chat about pinnwand then I'm available in the
#pinnwand channel on Freenode IRC.

This pastebin has quite a long history which isn't reflected entirely in its repository.
There are 2 types of tests available to verify that the application still works correctly after the changes:
- unit test
- browser e2e tests
Unit tests are run by pytest by default when executing (the browser tests will be skipped)
€ pytest
If you'd like to run browser tests you need to pass the --e2e option to the pytest command.
€ pytest --e2e
The browser tests are executed by Playwright.
The tests by default will be run in the headless mode.
But it's possible to run them in the headed mode as well to be able to observe the execution of the tests.
For that, you just need to pass the --headed option to the pytest --e2e command:
€ pytest --e2e --headed
