I am a beginner in Delphi (I use Delphi 2010 because of school) and I am trying to get an output textfile with a list of pastes that a pastebin user has created, but I am not exactly sure how to do it. On Pastebin.com (PastebinAPI), they explain how the API works, but I can't get it working on Delphi.
Here is what I have coded so far (I blurred out my details):
procedure TfrmLogin.imgLoginButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
sSource, sAPI_Dev_Key, sAPI_User_Key, sAPI_Results_Limit, sAPI_Option,
sListPasteLink: String;
begin
sSource := 'https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php/';
sAPI_Dev_Key := 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/';
sAPI_User_Key := 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/';
sAPI_Results_Limit := '1000/';
sAPI_Option := 'list';
sListPasteLink := sSource + sAPI_Dev_Key + sAPI_User_Key +
sAPI_Results_Limit + sAPI_Option;
end;
I am not sure what to do after this, how do I POST this generated link in Delphi to get the list of pastes created?
I tried copying the generated link and pasting it in my web browser, but Pastebin says This page has been removed!
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Here is an example. Drop a TButton
, a TMemo
, a TIdHTTP
and a TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL
on a form. You will also need to copy libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into your application directory (they are provided somehere in the directory where Delphi was installed).
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Params: TStringList;
begin
Params := TStringList.Create;
Params.Add('api_dev_key=*****');
Params.Add('api_user_key=*****');
Params.Add('api_option=list');
try
IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL1.SSLOptions.SSLVersions := [sslvTLSv1_1, sslvTLSv1_2];
IdHTTP1.IOHandler := IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL1;
Memo1.Text := IdHTTP1.Post('https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php', Params);
finally
Params.Free;
end;
end;
