I made some adjustments to this script several years ago to handle downloading likes. I haven't kept up with it. However, a handful of folks have watched, starred, or otherwise referenced this repository/fork before, so I'm leaving it up, archived, for posterity.
This is a collection of utilities dealing with Tumblr blogs.
tumble.pycreates new posts from RSS or Atom feedstumblr_backup.pymakes a local backup of posts and imagesmail_export.pymails tagged links to a recipient list
These scripts are or have been useful to me over the years.
More documentation can be found in each script's docstring or in tumblr_backup.md.
The utilities run under Python 2.7.
On 2015-06-04, I made the v2 API the default on the master branch. The former
master branch using the v1 API is still available on Github as api-v1, but
will no longer be updated. The one feature that's only available with the old
API is the option to backup password-protected blogs. There's no way to pass
a password in Tumblr's v2 API.
