Publish release notes to the feed

Create a public, reusable plaintext paste with title and syntax so it appears in the public feed and profile surfaces.

When to use it

Use this when

  • The content is intentionally public and useful beyond a private link.
  • You want followers, feed readers, or search users to find the note.
Steps

Do this

  1. Use public visibility only for public content Public feed pastes must be plaintext, public-access, and unlimited-read.
  2. Add a clear title The feed returns title, syntax, size, created_at, URL, raw_url, and a snippet.
  3. Verify the feed row Fetch /api/v1/feed after publishing if automation needs to confirm the item is listed.
Examples

Copyable commands

CLI
pbca login
pbca new --feed --file RELEASE-NOTES.md --syntax markdown --title "Release notes 2026-05-28"
Feed API
curl -sS 'https://pastebin.ca/api/v1/feed?limit=5'
Operational notes

Keep in mind

  • Anonymous public feed creation may require Turnstile; authenticated CLI/API usage avoids browser-only challenges.
  • Do not combine public feed visibility with read limits or encrypted access; the create endpoint rejects that combination.
