PBinCLI
=======

PBinCLI is a command line client for `PrivateBin <https://github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin/>`_ written in Python 3.

Installation
============

Installing globally using pip3:

.. code-block:: bash

   pip3 install pbincli

Installing with ``virtualenv``\ :

.. code-block:: bash

You can always create a config file to use different settings.

Usage
=====

PBinCLI tool is started with ``pbincli`` command. Detailed help on command usage is provided with ``-h`` option:

.. code-block:: bash

   pbincli {send|get|delete} -h

Sending
-------


* 
  Sending text:

  .. code-block:: bash

     pbincli send -t "Hello! This is a test paste!"

* 
  Using stdin input to read text into a paste:

  .. code-block:: bash

     pbincli send - <<EOF
     Hello! This is a test paste!
     EOF

* 
  Sending a file with text attached into a paste:

  .. code-block:: bash

     pbincli send -f info.pdf -t "I'm sending my document."

* 
  Sending a file only with no text attached:

  .. code-block:: bash

     pbincli send -q -f info.pdf

Other options
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is also possible to set-up paste parameters such as "burn after reading", expiritaion time, formatting, enabling discussions and changing compression algorithm. Please refer to ``pbincli send -h`` output for more information.

Receiving
---------

To retrieve a paste from a server, you need to use ``get`` command with the paste info.

Paste info must be formated as ``pasteID#Passphrase`` or just use full URL to a paste. Example:

.. code-block:: 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 a paste from a server, use ``delete`` command with paste info:

.. code-block:: bash

   pbincli delete "pasteid=xxx&deletetoken=yyy"                        ### delete paste xxx from https://paste.i2pd.xyz/ by default
   pbincli delete "https://example.com/?pasteid=xxx&deletetoken=yyy"   ### delete paste xxx from https://example.com/

If you need to delete a paste on different server than the configured one, use ``-s`` option together with the instance URL.

Additional examples
===================

Here you can find additional examples.

Usage with I2P enabled services
-------------------------------

Change settings to set server to ``http://privatebin.i2p/`` and proxy to ``http://127.0.0.1:4444``. Configuration file for this example is:

.. code-block:: ini

   server=http://privatebin.i2p/
   proxy=http://127.0.0.1:4444

Using aliases
-------------

Example of alias to send a paste from ``stdin`` direclty to I2P service:

.. code-block:: bash

   alias pastei2p="echo 'paste the text to stdin' && pbincli send -s http://privatebin.i2p/ -x http://127.0.0.1:4444 -"

Call it by running ``pastei2p`` in terminal.
