Add API Endpoint for adding to clipboard history

Hello! Long-time Paste subscriber via SetApp, I really love Paste and it’s seamless integration with macOS and synchronization via iCloud. One feature I would really love to see is the addition of some sort of API endpoint, or other functionality, that would allow me to add clipboard items from clipboard managers on other operating systems (to be specific, I’m using CopyQ on Windows, which should make this a possibility). Ideally, there could also be an API endpoint that would allow one to query the items on the Paste clipboard history, but I suspect that could potentially be costly to implement.

You can use the system’s API to copy the item, that will place it in the pasteboard :)

We care a lot about privacy and therefore don’t have any of our own servers and APIs.

However, Paste provides seamless integration with Shortcuts so you could try to build something similar yourself using a custom workflow and other 3rd party services.

Paste Team: I’ve actually been looking into your Shortcuts integration since posting this, and it looks very promising. Totally understand and appreciate the concern for privacy regarding the API. Thanks for the response.
