Code:

from pbwrap import Pastebin
pastebin = Pastebin("my api key (retracted)")
pastebin.authenticate("(retracted)", "(retracted)")
p = pastebin.create_paste(api_paste_code="my paste text")
return p

Error:

Bad API request, invalid api_user_key

Hello

There is no utf-8 encoding done before the POST request, so it creates malformed characters when creating a paste from a file.
If loaded directly from a given string it is possible to encode it beforehand and not having the issue.

What do I put as the username and password for pb.authenticate()?

suggest option to verify ssl certs

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='pastebin.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/api_login.php (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain (_ssl.c:1076)')))

`This module always worked perfectly for me in the past but I just tried to use it again and the error above is generated. Perhaps it is due to changes made to python since the module was written? I am using Python 3.9.5.

pb = Pastebin(api_dev_key)
user_id =pb.authenticate(username, password)

This works fine!

paste_url = pb.create_paste('this is a test', api_paste_private=1, api_paste_name='test')
print(paste_url)

When pasting a file, an I/O error is returned when it tries to open the file

with open('test.txt', 'w') as f:
f.write('This is line #1\n')
f.write('This is line #2\n')

paste_url = pb.create_paste_from_file('test.txt', api_paste_private=1, api_paste_name='test')

pbwrap.py", line 180, in create_paste_from_file

with io.open(

AttributeError: enter

print(paste_url)
print('Done')`

The api url for getting raw paste data is https://pastebin.com/api/api_raw.php, not https://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php.

The error is on line 234 of pbwrap.py.

Cheers.
