+# FileBin
+
+A pastebin software running on [https://paste.xinu.at](https///paste.xinu.at).
+In addition to uploading text and code it also supports binary files.
+
+Additional documentation can be found in `./doc`.
+
+## Installation/Development
+
+Git is used for tracking changes and updating installations. The repository is
+located at [https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/filebin/](https///git.server-speed.net/users/flo/filebin/).
+Clone the repository and follow the instructions in `./INSTALL`. Do not
+install using tarballs as this is not supported.
+
+`dev` is the development branch and should not be used in production. All
+stable changes go to `master` and will be tagged regularly following [semver
+guidelines](http://semver.org/).
+
+There is currently no bug tracking software.
+
+### Mailing List
+
+Currently there is only [one mailing
+list](https///lists.server-speed.net/listinfo/filebin-general) for everything
+(general discussion, patches, announcements, ...). If need be more lists will be
+created at a later date.
+
+### Patches
+
+Please submit patches (preferably git send-email) to the [filebin-general
+mailing list](https///lists.server-speed.net/listinfo/filebin-general). You do
+not need to register to be allowed to post.
+
+
+## Dependencies
+
+* PHP >=5.5 with the following modules
+ * gd for thumbnail generation
+ * exif for thumbnail generation
+ * phar for tarball creation
+ * mysql, mysqli, pgsql, pdo_mysql (any of those) for database access
+
+* perl with the following CPAN Modules
+ * Text::Markdown for markdown rendering
+
+* [pygmentize](http://pygments.org/) for code highlighting
+* [ansi2html](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ansi2html) for shell output rendering (ANSI color codes)
+* [qrencode](http://megaui.net/fukuchi/works/qrencode/index.en.html) for qrcode generation
+* [imagemagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/) for additional thumbnail generation
+* [node.js](https///nodejs.org/) for javascript minification

+# API
+
+The API provides programmatic access to upload, delete files, view the
+currently uploaded ones and combine them to multipastes, as well as functions
+to manage api keys. Responses are available in JSON.
+
+## General notes
+
+### URLs
+
+The URLs for API endpoints start with the base URL followed by `/api/`, the
+version supported by the client and the endpoint. For example:
+`https://paste.xinu.at/api/v1.0.0/some/endpoint`.
+
+The version number follows the [semantic versioning guidelines](http://semver.org/).
+The requested version number must be of the format `vX[.X[.X]]` with X being
+a positive number. `v1` and `v1.0` will both be treated as `v1.0.0`.
+
+The most recent API version is `v2.1.0`.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+The API will evolve by adding and removing endpoints, parameters and keywords.
+Unknown keywords should be treated gracefully by your application.
+
+Behavior not documented here should not be expected to be available and may be
+changed without notice.
+
+### Unless stated otherwise ...
+
+
+* ... requests should be sent via POST.
+* ... endpoints expect an apikey with access level `apikey` to be sent with the request.
+* ... requests should not be assumed to be atomic (i.e. data may be changed on the server despite an error being returned).
+
+
+* ... timestamps are returned as UNIX timestamps (seconds).
+* ... sizes are returned in bytes.
+* ... values are specific to the user owning the apikey (e.g. the `total_size` field of file/history).
+
+
+* ... errors will generate a response with `status=error`.
+* ... error messages may differ from those listed in the tables.
+* ... errors listed are only the most common ones (i.e. the lists are non-exhaustive).
+
+### Access levels
+
+An api key can have one of the following access levels. Levels further down in
+the table include those above themselves.
+
+ | access-level | Comment |
+ | ------------ | ------- |
+ | basic | Allows only uploading of files |
+ | apikey | Allows to delete uploads and view the history |
+ | full | Allows everything |
+
+## General response structure
+
+Replies will always contain a `status` field which can contain the following
+values: `success`, `error`. If the reply does not contain the status field
+it should be regarded as invalid.
+
+If `status=success` the reply will contain a `data` field which contains
+function specific data.
+
+### Error handling
+
+If `status=error` the reply will be of the following format:
+
+```javascript
+// Error response format
+responseError = {
+ "status": "error",
+ "message": "A message that can be displayed to the user",
+ "error_id": "program/useable/error/id",
+ "data": object or array, // optional, only used if mentioned
+}
+```
+
+
+## General errors
+
+These are the most common errors that can be returned by any API call.
+
+ | error_id | Message | Note |
+ | -------- | ------- | ---- |
+ | api/invalid-version | Invalid API version requested | Failed syntax check |
+ | api/invalid-endpoint | Invalid endpoint requested | Failed syntax check |
+ | api/version-not-supported | Requested API version is not supported | |
+ | api/unknown-endpoint | Unknown endpoint requested | Likely a typo in your URL |
+ | internal-error | An unhandled internal server error occured | |
+ | user/api-login-failed | API key login failed | |
+ | api/insufficient-permissions | Access denied: Access level too low | |
+ | api/not-authenticated | Not authenticated | Likely no apikey was sent |
+
+## Endpoints
+
+All return values below assume success unless stated otherwise and are the
+content of the `data` field mentioned above.
+
+```javascript
+// General definitions
+
+// Listed above
+access-level: String;
+
+// An api key
+apikey: String;
+
+// An ID that can be used to display a multipaste or a single file
+upload-id: String;
+
+
+// General success response
+responseSuccess = {
+ "status": "success",
+ "data": object or array,
+}
+```
+
+For the examples set the following variables in your shell. Please note that
+they and their values will show up in your shell history and in top/ps if used.
+Be careful on untrusted systems.
+
+```bash
+apikey="anApiKey"
+base="https://paste.xinu.at/api/v2.0.0"
+```
