tumblr2jekyll

Script for pulling posts out of Tumblr and creating content for Jekyll.

Usage

1. Go to Tumblr and request an API key.
2. Paste the OAuth Consumer Key into the script as API_KEY.
3. Enter your site's root Tumblr URL as TUMBLR_ROOT.
4. [Optional] Change the TEXT_ONLY setting to False if you want more than just your text posts.
5. [Optional] Add/remove tuples from the CUSTOM_FIELDS dictionary. More info.
6. In the terminal: python tumblr2jekyll.py -- the directory structure for Jekyll will be created wherever the script is run from.

Assumptions

1. You have Python installed
2. The Tumblr V2 API stil exists.
3. You are using a traditional Jekyll structure (eg. _posts/ and images/). If not, the script is easy enough to edit on your own.
4. You don't really care about the description field in the posts, since Tumblr doesn't have one (I just re-write the title there).

Details on custom fields

You can add any custom fields using the CUSTOM_FIELDS dictionaty at the beginning of the script. I have that setting pre-populated with the standard layout: post as a default. You should always at least specify a layout here, and can add whatever other pairs you need or want.

That should do it. No need really to set up a virtualenv, as there are no requirement modules outside of core Python libraries.
