Error making post

[amanthei]

Hello,

Trying to use the post method for a text post.

t = Tumblpy(TUMBLR_CONSUMER_KEY, TUMBLR_CONSUMER_SECRET,
            TUMBLR_ACCESS_KEY, TUMBLR_ACCESS_SECRET)

        blog_url = t.post('user/info')
        blog_url = blog_url['user']['blogs'][0]['url']
        blog_url = blog_url.replace('http://', '')
        blog_url = blog_url.replace('/', '')
        print(blog_url)

        try:
            if image:
                #Create a photo post using a local filepath
                post = t.post('post', blog_url=blog_url, params={'type':'photo', 'caption': text, 'data': image})
            elif url:
                #Create a link post
                post = t.post('post', blog_url=blog_url, params={'type':'link', 'url': url, 'description': text})
            else:
                print('im definitely text')
                #Create a text post
                post = t.post('post', blog_url=blog_url, params={'type':'text', 'body': text})
        except Exception as e:
            import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
            print(e)

        return HttpResponse(status=200)

The text is just a normal string. I'm using Pythin 3.4.

Error is tumblpy.exceptions.TumblpyError: There was an error making your request. and error_code is 404

Any ideas why this isn't working? Thanks!

I had this too, for a temporary fix do: pip install python-tumblpy==1.1.0

Hi @amanthei, which version of Tumblpy are you using and what does blog_url print out as?

[amanthei]

Hey @michaelhelmick I was using 1.1.3. Just tried @megagorilla's temporary fix of rolling back to 1.1.0 and that worked perfectly. blog_url (before replacing characters in the code above, which I tried in case it was supposed to be without the http://) correctly prints out as my blog url: http://thedirectory.tumblr.com/

Thanks! I don't use the Tumblr api too often anymore, but I'll try and debug this personally this week!

python-tumblpy==1.1.4 is out! Should fix this issue!

Brilliant, thanks!
