I am trying to make a Pastebin.com paste using Google Apps Script from the spreadsheet script editor. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
function postPastebinPost() {
var options, url, apiKey, payload, response;
apiKey = <api key goes here>;
payload = 'Hello World';
options = {
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : payload
};
url = 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php'
+ '?api_dev_key=' + apiKey
+ '&api_option=paste'
+ '&api_paste_code=' + encodeURIComponent(payload);
response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
Logger.log(response);
}
I run this and my log reads Bad API request, invalid api_option
. I've searched for solutions but I have not found any.
Documentation:
• Google Apps Script's UrlFetchApp Class
The parameters should be passed in the payload of the POST request.
function postPastebinPost() {
var apiKey = 'YOUR KEY GOES HERE';
var text = 'Hello World';
var payload = {
api_dev_key: apiKey,
api_option: 'paste',
api_paste_code: text
};
var options = {
method : 'POST',
payload: payload
};
var url = 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
}
