Installing Tumbply is simple:
$ pip install python-tumblpy
t = Tumblpy(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth_props = t.get_authentication_tokens(callback_url='http://michaelhelmick.com')
auth_url = auth_props['auth_url']
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = auth_props['oauth_token_secret']
print 'Connect with Tumblr via: %s' % auth_urlOnce 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_SECRET comes from the previous step
# if needed, store those in a session variable or something
# oauth_verifier and OAUTH_TOKEN are found in your callback url querystring
# In Django, you'd do something like
# OAUTH_TOKEN = request.GET.get('oauth_token')
# oauth_verifier = request.GET.get('oauth_verifier')
t = Tumblpy(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
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(YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY, YOUR CONSUMER_SECRET,
OAUTH_TOKEN, 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']# 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
