Pastebin

Note

Snippet.host is the recommended option for hosting webЯcade feed documents. Pastebin remains functional but is no longer the preferred choice.

Pastebin can be used to host webЯcade feed documents (see Feed Format).

Note

Although creating and logging into a Pastebin account is not required, it is highly recommended. Without an account, it is not possible to make changes to existing pastes (feeds). This means that updating a feed would require the creation of a new paste, which would result in a new feed URL.

To host a feed in Pastebin, perform the following steps:

  • Navigate to pastebin.com and scroll (if necessary) to the text area that is titled, "New Paste" (see screenshot below).

  • Paste the webЯcade feed content (see Feed Format) into the "New Paste" text area (see screenshot below).

  • Scroll down (if necessary) until the "Create New Paste" button is shown. Click the "Create New Paste" button to create the new paste containing the webЯcade feed (see screenshot below).

  • After the paste has been created, click the "RAW" button (red highlight in screenshot below) to view the raw content feed.

  • The webЯcade feed URL will be shown in the browser's navigation bar (see screenshot below).

The example from above can be tested by adding a feed with the following URL within the webЯcade player:

https://pastebin.com/raw/sVhLPGkN

It is highly recommended that a link shortener such as is.gd be utilized to alias the Pastebin URL to a more memorable URL (see is.gd page). The following is.gd-based URL will redirect to the above Pastebin URL.

https://is.gd/pastebinfeed
