I am in a unique situation
I want to just be presented with a plaintext list of all pastebin paste ids, or at least just a large number of them so I can search through them to find a certain string in the id.
How do this
Pls
help

on the right side of the website inside a box, you find recent public pastebins

I'm interested in the ids and I want a lot of them at a time, not just looking through one by one and hoping I find an id I want
Look up the Gentoomans Library and find the section on Data Mining. There should be a book in there on web scraping or something similar which should explain how to collect data as such. Idk myself but beiefly looked through some of the books and saw something along those lines. Good luck

218,340,105,584,896 possible urls.
>>55009683
Yeah but how many of those actually represent a paste
To be totally honest all I'm doing is making a fake general on /vg/ and I want a certain other general to see it when they go to the catalog, so I want the name of their general in a pastebin url that can be in my OP

Generate a list of all possible paste ids.
Write a script to fork 10 instances of wget and see if it returns 200 OK and then terminate the request (wget has a built in option for this) and if it doesn't remove the option from the list of possible ids. Probably take a couple of days even with 10 threads. I mean we can't hold your hand here.

yes I suppose this is the only way
nothing shall stand in the way of my autism

you wont be succesful

I'm only going to generate ids with the string I want in them so it will be faster

Don't forget to report back when you done it
>pro tip you will never get it done
>>55009683
How? Shouldn't it be 35^11?

Actually no 26 letters times two for capitals, plus 0-9 is 62. So 62^11 is 52 quintillion
