- And many more!!
- Photo Uploading
Installing Tumbply is simple:
$ pip install python-tumblpy
# Without a dynamic callback url
# This will use the callback url specified in your app
# Go to http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps and click your
# app to find out your dynamic callback url
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*')
If you wish to have a dynamic callback url, specify callback_url when you initiate the class.
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*'
callback_url = 'http://example.com/callback/')
auth_props = t.get_authentication_tokens() auth_url = auth_props['auth_url'] oauth_token = auth_props['oauth_token'] oauth_token_secret = auth_props['oauth_token_secret'] Connect with Tumblr via: % auth_url
Once you click "Allow" be sure that there is a URL set up to handle getting finalized tokens and possibly adding them to your database to use their information at a later date.
# oauth_token and oauth_token_secret come from the previous step
# if needed, store those in a session variable or something
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*',
oauth_token=oauth_token,
oauth_token_secret=oauth_token_secret)
# In Django, you'd do something like
# oauth_verifier = request.GET.get('oauth_verifier')
oauth_verifier = *Grab oauth verifier from URL*
authorized_tokens = t.get_authorized_tokens(oauth_verifier)
final_oauth_token = authorized_tokens['oauth_token']
final_oauth_token_secret = authorized_tokens['oauth_token_secret']
# Save those tokens to the database for a later use?
# Get the final tokens from the database or wherever you have them stored
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*',
oauth_token=final_tokens['oauth_token'],
oauth_token_secret=final_tokens['oauth_token_secret'])
# Print out the user info, let's get the first blog url...
blog_url = t.post('user/info')
blog_url = blog_url['user']['blogs'][0]['url']
t = Tumblpy()
avatar = t.get_avatar_url(blog_url='omglegit.tumblr.com', size=128)
print avatar['url']
# OR
avatar = t.get('avatar', blog_url='omglegit.tumblr.com'. extra_endpoints=['128'])
print avatar['url']
# Assume you are using the blog_url and Tumblpy instance from the previous section
posts = t.get('posts', blog_url=blog_url)
print posts
# Assume you are using the blog_url and Tumblpy instance from the previous sections
photo = open('/path/to/file/image.png', 'rb')
post = t.post('post', blog_url=blog_url, params={'type':'photo', 'caption': 'Test Caption', 'data': photo})
print post # returns id if posted successfully
# Assume you are using the blog_url and Tumblpy instance from the previous sections
# Like I said in the previous section, you can pass any object that has a
# read() method
# Assume you are working with a JPEG
