Installing
-----
=====
Installation inside `virtualenv`:
```bash
virtualenv --python=python3 venv
python3 -m virtualenv --python=python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install pbincli
```
Usage
-----
Installation to system with pip3:
```bash
pip3 install pbincli
```
*Note: if you used installation with `virtualenv`, don't forget to activate it before usage: call `. /path/to/venv/bin/activate` in terminal*
Configuration
=====
By default pbincli configured to use `https://paste.i2pd.xyz/` for sending and receiving pastes. No proxy used by default.
You can create config file with variables `server` and `proxy` in `~/.config/pbincli/pbincli.conf` to use different settings.
You can create config file to use different settings.
Example contents:
Configuration file is searched in `~/.config/pbincli/pbincli.conf`, `%APPDATA%/pbincli/pbincli.conf` (Windows) and `~/Library/Application Support/pbincli/pbincli.conf` (MacOS)
Example contents
-----
```ini
server=https://paste.i2pd.xyz/
proxy=http://127.0.0.1:3128
```
Run inside `venv` command:
All possible options for configuration file
-----
| Option | Default | Possible value |
|--------|---------|---------|
server | https://paste.i2pd.xyz/ | Domain ending with slash |
mirrors | None | Domains separated with comma, like `http://privatebin.ygg/,http://privatebin.i2p/` |
proxy | None | Proxy address starting with scheme `http://` or `socks5://` |
short | False | True / False |
short_api | None | `tinyurl`, `clckru`, `isgd`, `vgd`, `cuttly`, `yourls`, `custom` |
short_url | None | Domain name of shortener service for `yourls`, or sortener URL (with required parameters) for `custom` |
short_user | None | Used only in `yourls` |
short_pass | None | Used only in `yourls` |
short_token | None | Used only in `yourls` |
no_check_certificate | False | True / False |
no_insecure_warning | False | True / False |
Usage
=====
Tool available by command `pbincli`, help for every command can be called with `-h` option:
```bash
pbincli send --text "Hello!"
pbincli {send|get|delete} -h
```
Or use stdin input to read text for paste:
Sending
-----
* Sending text:
```bash
pbincli send -t "Hello! This is test paste!"
```
* Use stdin input to read text for paste:
```bash
pbincli send - <<EOF
Hello! This is test paste!
EOF
```
It will send string `Hello! This is test paste!` to PrivateBin.
To send file use `--file` or `-f` with filename. Example:
* Sending file with text in paste:
```bash
pbincli send -f info.pdf -t "I'm sending my document."
```
* Sending only file without any text:
```bash
pbincli send -c "My document" -f info.pdf
pbincli send -q -f info.pdf
```
__*Note*__: It is possible to set-up paste parameters such as burning after reading, expiritaion time, formatting, enabling discussions, and changing compression algorithm. Please refer to `pbincli send -h` output for more information.
Receiving
-----
To retrieve paste from server, use `get` command with paste info.
It must be formated like `pasteID#passphrase`. Example:
It must be formated like `pasteID#Passphrase` or use full URL to paste. Example:
```bash
pbincli get xxx#yyy ### receive paste xxx from https://paste.i2pd.xyz/ by default
pbincli get https://example.com/?xxx#yyy ### receive paste xxx from https://example.com/
```
Deletion
-----
To delete paste from server, use `delete` command with required `-p` and `-t` options:
```bash
pbincli get 49eeb1326cfa9491#vfeortoVWaYeJlviDdhxQBtj5e0I2kArpynrtu/tnGs=
pbincli delete -p xxx -t deletetoken
```
If you need to delete paste on different server that configured, use `-s` option with instance URL.
Additional examples
=====
Here you can find additional examples.
Usage with service available inside I2P
-----
Change settings to use server `http://privatebin.i2p/` and proxy `http://127.0.0.1:4444`. Here's example for configuration file:
```ini
server=http://privatebin.i2p/
proxy=http://127.0.0.1:4444
```
More info you can find by typing
Using tool with aliases
-----
Example of alias to send paste from `stdin` direclty to I2P service:
```bash
pbincli [-h] {send, get, delete}
alias pastei2p="echo 'paste the text to stdin' && pbincli send -s http://privatebin.i2p/ -x http://127.0.0.1:4444 -"
```
TODO
----
Write a more complete usage documentation.
Call it by running `pastei2p` in terminal.
