In hrbrmstr/pastebin: Tools to Work with the 'pastebin' API

pastebin : Tools to work with the pastebin API

Pastebin is a website where you can store any text online for easy sharing. The website is mainly used by programmers to store pieces of sources code or configuration information, but anyone is more than welcome to paste any type of text. The idea behind the site is to make it more convenient for people to share large amounts of text online.

WIP!! The package API will very likely be in rapid change mode for a bit

The following functions are implemented:

• get_paste: Get raw paste data
• get_paste_metadata: Get paste metadata
• get_trending_pastes: Get trending pastes
• get_recent_pastes: Get recent pastes
• new_paste: Create a new paste
• pastebin_api_key: Get or set PASTEBIN_API_KEY value
• toString.paste: Extract just the paste text from a paste object
• as.character.paste: Extract just the paste text from a paste object

If you want the impersonate parameter of new_paste() to work you must set PASTEBIN_USER and PASTEBIN_PASSWORD (preferably in ~/.Renviron).

TODO

• Paste as user
• Finish API coverage including "Pro"" paste features
• Testing

Installation

devtools::install_github("hrbrmstr/pastebin")

options(width=120)

Usage

library(pastebin)
library(tidyverse)

# current verison
packageVersion("pastebin")

get_trending_pastes() %>% 
  arrange(desc(hits))

r_pastes <- get_recent_pastes(lang="rsplus")

glimpse(r_pastes)

Can't always trust the lang setting. Some non-R stuff in there:

walk(r_pastes$key[1:10], ~print(toString(get_paste(.))))

Since the user is obvious:

mebbe_r <- filter(r_pastes, user != "AllRls_net")
walk(mebbe_r$key, ~print(toString(get_paste(.))))

Test Results

library(pastebin)
library(testthat)
