View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for CentOS Pastebin API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for CentOS Pastebin API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The CentOS Pastebin API provides a REST interface for creating, retrieving, and browsing paste entries on the CentOS community pastebin service. It supports 6 endpoints covering paste creation with syntax highlighting, retrieval by paste ID, browsing recent and trending pastes, fetching random entries, and listing supported programming languages.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use CentOS Pastebin API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Code Snippet Sharing for Support

Create paste entries with syntax-highlighted code to share configuration files, error logs, or code snippets in community support channels. The CentOS Pastebin API accepts raw text content with a language parameter for highlighting and returns a unique paste URL suitable for IRC, forums, or issue trackers. No authentication required for paste creation.

Create a new paste with Python syntax highlighting via POST /create containing a sample error traceback, then retrieve the paste URL from the response

Community Paste Monitoring

Monitor recent and trending paste activity on the CentOS Pastebin to track community discussions, common error patterns, or frequently shared configurations. The trending endpoint ranks pastes by view count while the recent endpoint provides a chronological feed. Useful for community moderators and support automation tools.

Retrieve the list of trending pastes via GET /trending and identify pastes related to system configuration errors

Automated Log Sharing in CI/CD Pipelines

Integrate the CentOS Pastebin API into CI/CD workflows to automatically paste build logs or test output when failures occur. The unauthenticated POST endpoint accepts any text content and returns a shareable URL that can be attached to notifications or issue comments. Supports language detection for common log formats.

POST build failure log content to /create with language set to 'log', then format the returned paste URL into a Slack notification message

AI Agent Paste Operations via Jentic

AI agents create and retrieve pastes through Jentic to share code snippets or configuration files during automated support workflows. Since the CentOS Pastebin API requires no authentication, Jentic provides operation discovery and schema validation, ensuring agents construct correct request bodies with valid language parameters.

Search Jentic for 'create a code paste', load the CentOS Pastebin create operation schema, and execute with content and language parameters

FAQs

Specific to using CentOS Pastebin API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for CentOS Pastebin API?

The CentOS project does not publish an OpenAPI specification for their pastebin service. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call CentOS Pastebin API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the CentOS Pastebin API use?

The CentOS Pastebin API requires no authentication. All endpoints are publicly accessible without API keys or tokens. Through Jentic, agents can discover and call operations without any credential setup.

What programming languages are supported for syntax highlighting?

Call GET /langs to retrieve the full list of supported languages. The endpoint returns language identifiers that you pass as a parameter when creating a paste via POST /create to enable syntax highlighting in the rendered view.

How do I retrieve a paste by its ID?

Call GET /paste/{pasteId} with the paste identifier. The endpoint returns the paste content, language, creation timestamp, and view count. Paste IDs are returned in the response when creating a new paste.

Can I browse trending pastes through the API?

Yes. GET /trending returns pastes ranked by view count, and GET /recent returns pastes in reverse chronological order. GET /random returns a single random paste entry.

How do I create a paste through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a code paste on CentOS' to find the POST /create operation. Load the schema to see the content and language parameters, then execute with your text content. No credentials needed. Install with pip install jentic.
