The Pastebin Bisque is a small Python utility that uses BeautifulSoup to scrape a user's Pastebin profile. All public pastes from that user are downloaded to disk. Optionally, the pastes can be saved to a single .zip file.
There is no rate-limiting protection built-in. Read about the Pastebin Request Limits if you anticipate generating a large number of requests. The file name provided by the Pastebin user will be prepended with the short URL that Pastebin provides. This allows a single directory with all pastes and no duplicates and makes the original URL fairly easy to reconstruct.
TL;DR - Scrape all public Pastebin pastes from a user.

This project uses GitLab CI, tox and Test PyPI for testing. See tests/test_pastebin_bisque.py.
To run all the tests run:
tox
Consider using this to run the tests in parallel:
tox -p auto
Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:
| Windows | set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox |
|---|---|
| Other | PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox |
See .gitlab-ci.yml for the tests that are performed via GitLab CI. You'll need to be a Maintainer to run the tests that interact with Test PyPI (or to release a new package to PyPI).
