A simple online clipboard to easily move text between two machines connected to the internet. When you save your text you will get a unique identifier of it. To retrieve your text just use the identifier. A simple FastAPI-based application to store and retrieve short text snippets using SQLite. This project demonstrates how to use FastAPI for building a web API with basic CRUD operations and background tasks.
- Store Text: Submit text via a web form or JSON API.
- Retrieve Text: Retrieve text content by unique ID.
- Expiration Handling: Text entries expire after a configurable period, and expired entries are automatically deleted in the background.
- Concurrency: Supports simultaneous submissions and ensures unique ID generation.
- Python 3.7+
- FastAPI
- SQLite
