I'm trying to submit a new paste to Paste.ee API using Curl, but the response is always Whoops, looks like something went wrong.
Here's the guideline of Paste.ee API: https://paste.ee/wiki/API:Basics
Here's how my simple code looks like:
<?php
$key = '56b3f127d65445c0cf6ff05f62ffba53';
$format = 'JSON';
$description = 'just for testing';
$paste = 'Just a simple test';
if(function_exists('curl_init')) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://paste.ee/api");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Expect:"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array("key" => $key, "format" => $format, "description" => $description, "paste" => $paste));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $response;
} else {
error_log("You need cURL to use this api!");
}
?>
I've double-checked, my key is right. I'm new to Curl, so any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks.

It's because "format" is case sensitive in which it must small letters
You your format is capitalised which is it should be small letters
"format": "json"
look
$key = '56b3f127d65445c0cf6ff05f62ffba53';
$format = 'JSON';
$description = 'just for testing';
$paste = 'Just a simple test';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://paste.ee/api");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Expect:"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
'key' => $key,
'format' => $format,
'description' => 'just for testing',
'paste' => $paste,
'format' => 'json'
));
