Create temporary Markdown, code and log pastes from your tools.

Create a paste

curl -sS -X POST https://paste2.md/api/pastes \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "title": "Build log",
    "content": "## Error log\\n```text\\nstack trace here\\n```",
    "format": "MARKDOWN",
    "expiresInHours": 24,
    "burnAfterRead": false
  }'

Use POST /api/pastes with JSON. burnAfterRead is optional and defaults to false when omitted. Add /raw to any share URL (for example /p/abc123def456/raw) to fetch the original plain-text body for scripts, curl, CI logs, or AI agents.
