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
python3 -m virtualenv --python=python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate

*Note*\ : if you used ``virtualenv`` installation method, don't forget to activate your virtual environment before running the tool: call ``. /path/to/venv/bin/activate`` in terminal
Configuration
=============
By default PBinCLI is configured to use ``https://paste.i2pd.xyz/`` for sending and receiving pastes. No proxy is used by default.
You can always create a config file to use different settings.
Configuration file is expected to be found in ``~/.config/pbincli/pbincli.conf``\ , ``%APPDATA%/pbincli/pbincli.conf`` (Windows) and ``~/Library/Application Support/pbincli/pbincli.conf`` (MacOS)

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.
