        console.log(data);
    })
    .fail(function (err) {
        console.log(err);
    });

API

PastebinAPI() : Constructor.

var PastebinAPI = require('pastebin-js');

// Without any parameter you can only use getPaste!
var pastebin = new PastebinAPI();

// Provide a developer key as string, this key can be found when logged in.
// This can be found here: http://pastebin.com/api#1
var pastebin = new PastebinAPI('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

// Provide an object containing the api_dev_key, api_user_name and api_user_password
pastebin = new PastebinAPI({
                'api_dev_key' : 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
                'api_user_name' : 'PastebinUserName',
                'api_user_password' : 'PastebinPassword'
               });

Methods

pastebin.getPaste(pasteID) : get a raw paste, providing the pasteID

pastebin
  .getPaste('76b2yNRt')
  .then(function (data) {
    // data contains the raw paste
    console.log(data);
  })
  .fail(function (err) {
    // Something went wrong
    console.log(err);
  })

pastebin.createPaste(text, title, format, privacy, expiration) : creates a paste. text is required, other arguments are optional. For format, privacy and expiration, have a look at lib/config.js for the allowed input. If privacy is set to 2, you will need to provide a username && password in the constructor (Pastebin requires a api_user_key)

pastebin
  .createPaste("Test from pastebin-js", "pastebin-js")
  .then(function (data) {
    // paste succesfully created, data contains the id
    console.log(data);
  })
  .fail(function (err) {
    // Something went wrong
    console.log(err);
  })

pastebin.createPasteFromFile(filename, title, format, privacy, expiration) : tries to read the file provided in filename (UTF-8) and paste it. Works the same as previous method.

pastebin.deletePaste(pasteID) : Tries to delete a paste, created by the user

pastebin.getUserInfo() : gets the userinfo

pastebin.listUserPastes(limit) : gets a list of pastes from the user. limit is optional, from 1 - 100 (default: 50)

pastebin.listTrendingPastes() : gets a list of trending pastes on Pastebin

Bugs / issues

Please, if you find any bugs, or are a way better developer than I am (as in, you are thinking 'spaghetti' when looking at my code), feel free to create an issue or provide me with some pull requests! This is my first full module ever written for NodeJS.
