Urgent Notice: In the coming month/s, xygt will be closing down to all users and rebranding. Understandably this is disappointing as I have noticed legitimate users of the platform. We will be rebranding under the name pasted.sh. Keep an eye on that webpage for info. For extra information please don't hesitate to contact me from the stuff on the contact page.

FAQ

What is this?

Check about.

Who are you?

I'm Jack Eilles, the owner, developer and overall BDFL of xygt.cc

What do you mean by "Donation perks"?

So to show appreciation to those who donate to xygt.cc, there are a few extra things they can take advantage of.

These include an increased retention time (365 days to 730 days), as well as an increased file size (256mb to 512mb).

Not gonna lie, don't know what you'd use these for but, have fun I guess? Obviously to use these, your userID and IDPass need to be added to your request, the server isn't magic.

Help! I forgot my password!

If you can't find your IDPass, check your dashboard. You can reset it from there.

If you can't remember your regular password for the site, you're on your own. Glhf.

Why are the CURL commands so complicated?

Thats just how CURL commands are, I'm going to write a helper tool for this at some point, let you store your userID and IDPass so you don't have to type it in every request.

What are the flags I can use?

file / url - These specify the data to be passed onto xygt.cc, either file data or a URL to be shortened. This is the only required field.
retention - You can specify a custom retention time in seconds, as long as its less than the calculated time for your file, if not then it'll use the default.
userid - This is your optional userid, it lets you link an upload to your account.
idpass - This allows you to use your userid, required if userid is present.

What is this licensed under?

I decided to put it under the MIT License as it provides the most freedom.

Why is this free?

I want to help out, to put it simply. As well as that, it's fun to work on, yeah I might be losing a bit of money yearly but oh well, if it's going towards something I enjoy doing, can it really be thought of as 'losing money'? I think not.

Do you work with the government?

In the unlikely event that xygt.cc is served with a request for information, we will provide as much information as possible without directly identifying the person behind the data requested.

Due to the nature of xygt.cc's privacy policy, we will not provide any extra information about our users unless we are served with a legal order enforcable within its juristiction. In that case, extra logging will be enabled sitewide to collect data.

I encourage anyone to submit a request via E-Mail to me to take down any illegal activity being conducted on this site, just know I may not be able to provide all information required without a legal order.

Per GDPR / UK DPA, I am willing to respond to FOI requests, as well as the orders mentioned above. All requests will be publicly available @ this directory with sensitive information omitted.
