Creating a GoMarkdown Paste

Create a markdown paste on gomarkdown.online and return the shareable URL.

How to create a paste

Send a POST request to the GoMarkdown API:

bash
curl -s https://gomarkdown.online/api/paste \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"markdown": "<MARKDOWN_CONTENT>"}'

The response is JSON:

json
{
  "id": "abc1234567",
  "url": "/paste/abc1234567"
}

The shareable URL is https://gomarkdown.online + the url field from the response.

Example: If the response url is /paste/abc1234567, the full URL is https://gomarkdown.online/paste/abc1234567.
