Create and retrieve snippets programmatically. All endpoints are available at https://snipit.sh. No authentication required.

⚡ Quick Start

Create a snippet:

curl -X POST https://snipit.sh/api/snippets \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content": "Hello, World!", "language": "plaintext"}'

Read it back (raw):

curl https://snipit.sh/api/snippets/<id>/raw

Upload a file:

curl -X POST https://snipit.sh/api/files -F "file=@script.sh"

• AES-256-GCM encryption at rest — all snippets are encrypted with a unique server-side key before storage
• Optional password encryption — adds a second layer of client-supplied password encryption (PBKDF2 + AES-256)
• Burn after reading — content is permanently deleted after first view
• Auto-expiration — expired snippets are automatically cleaned up
• No tracking — no analytics, no cookies (except admin), no third-party scripts
