Inside folderparent_foldertext: Optional. One of your folders to create it in. Leave blank for the top level.

Outputs

created_attext: When the folder was made (ISO 8601, UTC).
folder_idtext: The folder's ID, for the other folder steps.
nametext: The folder's name.
parent_idtext: The folder it is inside. Empty at the top level.

Create a multi-file paste

Share several named files as one paste, each highlighted for its own language, such as a script with its log or config.

Inputs

FilesfilesobjectRequired: Each file's name and contents, such as app.py and its code. The name's ending sets how Pastefy highlights that file. A files list an earlier step returned works too.
Titletitletext: Optional. The paste's name, which works like a file name: end it in .py, .md, .json and so on, and Pastefy highlights the paste in that language.
Visibilityvisibilitytext: Who can open the paste.One of: unlisted (Unlisted: anyone with the link can open it), public (Public: also listed on Pastefy's Explore page and your profile), private (Private: only your Pastefy account can open it). Default: unlisted.
