I was wondering how I would be able to make a post request to pastebin.com. They have an easy to understand API documentation, but whenever I run a simple POST request I always get Bad API request, invalid api_option.
I'm using the bear minimum required to make the request, I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong.
var request = new XMLHttpRequest;
request.open("POST", "https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php?api_dev_key=mykey&api_option=paste&api_paste_code=hi", false);
request.send();
request.response;
Finally I made it work like this:
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", "https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php", true);
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.send("api_dev_key=YOUR_KEY_HERE&api_option=paste&api_paste_private=0&api_paste_name=myname.js&api_paste_expire_date=10M&api_paste_format=javascript&api_paste_code=random");
I hope it helps
