Free tier	approx. 1 MiB per paste (measured: 1,040,000 chars accepted, 1,133,336 chars -> HTTP 413). No account, no quota, no count limit observed. unit unlimited; metered on unstated
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	free direct GET, no metering, no redirect; pastes served as HTML with a raw path.
Identity	institution derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: o quota, no count limit observed. Stable across a dozen API calls with no throttling observed. The URL slug is only 4 characters by default (SLUG_LENGTH=4), so paste URLs are enum
Binding	none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	curl -X POST -F 'format=url' -F 'content=<file' https://dpaste.org/api/ returns a plain URL. dpaste is the open-source Django app (github.com/bartTC/dpaste), so the same client works against any instance in the network.
Composes with	unlimited anonymous pastes x ~1 MiB. Cross-instance: dpaste.org, dpaste.com, dpaste.de and any self-hosted dpaste all share one API shape, so the same shard writer hits N independent operators. 1 TiB = ~1M pastes; only sane as a metadata/thumbnail tier.
Reliability	Stable across a dozen API calls with no throttling observed. The URL slug is only 4 characters by default (SLUG_LENGTH=4), so paste URLs are enumerable — do not treat content as private without local encryption.
Notes	approx. 1 MiB per paste (measured: 1,040,000 chars accepted, 1,133,336 chars -> HTTP 413). No account, no quota, no count limit observed.
