# Palette API
All endpoints are JSON unless noted. The web UI is served from the same port.
## Create paste
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"content": "print(hello)",
"title": "my snippet",
"language": "python",
"expires_in": "168h",
"password": "optional",
"custom_slug": "optional",
"burn_after_read": false,
"burn_after_reads": 1,
"visibility": "public"
}'
```
- `expires_in` is a Go duration string (`90m`, `6h`, `336h`). Omit for no expiry.
- `visibility` is `public` or `unlisted`.
- `burn_after_reads` sets how many reads the paste survives (default 1 when
`burn_after_read` is true). A read is counted per unique viewer session;
the same viewer returning within 15 minutes does not count again.
- Response includes `id`, `url`, `raw_url`, `api_url`, `expires_at`,
`created_at`, and a one-time `deletion_token`.
Errors: `400` invalid body/content too large/duplicate slug, `401` password
required, `404` paste expired/burned/gone, `413` content exceeds max bytes,
`429` rate limited.
## Get paste
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
# password-protected pastes:
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}?password=secret"
# or via header: X-Paste-Password: secret
```
The response includes `reads_remaining` (`null` when no read budget is set).
## Raw content
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/raw/{id}
```
Raw reads count against a burn-after-read budget, same as page views.
## Delete
```bash
# soft delete (requires the deletion token from the create response)
curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer TOKEN" http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}
# ...or via query param; the creator browser (viewer cookie) may also delete without a token
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}?token=TOKEN"
# hard delete immediately (requires the one-time deletion token)
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/{id}/redeem?token=TOKEN"
```
## Lists
```bash
curl "http://localhost:8080/api/public?limit=25&offset=0" # public history
curl http://localhost:8080/api/mine # this browser's pastes (viewer cookie)
```
## Language detection
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/guess-language \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"content": "package main"}'
```
## Cans (bundles of items)
A can bundles multiple text items (and files) into one shareable page at
`/can/{id}`. Password, expiry, visibility, custom slug, and viewer-scoped
deletion work exactly like pastes; cans appear as normal rows (with a `can`
badge) in `/api/public` and `/api/mine`.
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/pastes/can \
-F "title=My bundle" \
-F "expires_in=48h" \
-F "custom_slug=my-bundle" \
-F 'json_items=[{"title":"notes.txt","content":"some notes"}]' \
-F "files=@screenshot.png" \
-F "files=@log.txt"
curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}
curl http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id}/items/{item_id}
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/api/cans/{id} # creator browser only (vwr cookie)
```
Password-protected cans use the same unlock flow as pastes: `POST /can/{id}`
with the password sets an HMAC-bound cookie; item fetches accept the cookie as
well as the `X-Paste-Password` header / `?password=` query param.
## Web pages
- `/new` — create a paste
- `/history` — public paste history
- `/mine` — pastes created from this browser
- `/{id}` — view a paste
- `/unlock/{id}` — password gate for protected pastes
- `/raw/{id}` — raw content with original content type
## Expiry and deletion
- Expired pastes are soft-deleted by a background sweeper (runs every minute).
- Soft-deleted pastes are hard-deleted after a 7-day grace period.
- Deletion tokens allow immediate hard delete.
- Burn-after-read pastes are soft-deleted once the read budget is exhausted.
