🧾 RENTRY API - Batch Version

rentry.org is markdown-powered pastebin/publishing service with preview, custom urls and editing.

This repository contains a simple script that allows pasting and editing from command line interface.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE:

The script in this repository was not made by the official authors of rentry.org and it is a replica for the repository of radude/rentry. what makes it different is the language used in the 2 repositories.

Same purpose - based on different language.

DEPENDENCIES

These depencies apply to rentry.cmd version 1.0.0.5

• Powershell 3.0 (according to microsoft docs)

• cURL Must be added to path.

  assuming that curl is pre-installed in windows since Windows 10, version 1803 or later you should be ok (else you'd want to specify a curl installation using the --curl flag)

• rentry.org must be online to use this script.

📫 Download the API

• --file "<file.txt>" Specify path to file to upload or to output the RAW function

Below I made a small chart for the required options for each primary command.

In each case of use at least 1 primary command should be specified. the primary commands are the ones in the first row of the chart the first column shows the sub commands that each primary command needs.

USAGE	--help	--new	--edit	--delete	--raw	--if-exist
--url	not needed	optional	required	required	required	required
--edit-code	not needed	optional	required	required	not needed	not needed
--file	not needed	required	required	not needed	optional	not needed
--curl	not needed	optional	optional	optional	optional	optional

Example for reading the chart:
