Web interface endpoints

• GET / should return the starting page:

  

• GET /code/new should return the page that allows to save a new snippet:

  

• GET /code/UUID should return the page with associated code snippet:

  

• GET /code/latest should return the page with 10 most recently uploaded unrestricted code snippets:

  

API interface endpoints

• GET /api/code/new should take a JSON object with a field code and two other fields:

      1. time field containing the time (in seconds) during which the snippet is accessible.

      2. views field containing a number of views allowed for this snippet.

  And return JSON with a single field id:

  

• GET /api/code/UUID should return a JSON object with associated code snippet:

  

• GET /api/code/latest should return a JSON array the 10 most recently uploaded unrestricted code snippets:
