One cool thing you can do with Tumblr's REST API is see where content on a particular Tumblr blog originally came from. This repository contains a tool for doing just that.
content_graph.py will find the original author of all reblogged posts on a
particular blog and turn the result into a dependency tree diagram.
Usage:
- Clone this repository and install the dependencies. Make sure you have
graphviz installed and in your
$PATH.
git clone https://github.com/billpmurphy/tumblr-content-graph
cd tumblr-content-graph
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Get your Tumblr API credentials and stash them in a JSON file,
tumblr_conf.json. -
Finally, run
content_graph.py.
python content_graph.py <blog> <leaves_per_node> <tree_max_depth> <output_filename>
For example:
python content_graph.py you-have-just-experienced-things 2 4 example
This generates the following graph:
