A fork of tumblr-utils with Python 3 support, bug fixes, and lots of features I found useful.

About this fork

This fork is focused on tumblr_backup.py. It adds Python 3 compatibility, various bug fixes, a few enhancements to normal operation, support for dashboard-only blogs, and several other features - see the output of tumblr_backup.py --help for the full list of options. Check out the "experimental" branch if you want to try out some less stable extra functionality.

This is a collection of utilities dealing with Tumblr blogs.

• tumble.py creates new posts from RSS or Atom feeds
• tumblr_backup.py makes a local backup of posts and images
• mail_export.py mails tagged links to a recipient list

These scripts are or have been useful to me over the years.

More documentation can be found in each script's docstring or in tumblr_backup.md.

The utilities run under Python 2.7, though Python 3 is supported and preferred for tumblr_backup.py, which has been tested on Python 3.8 but should also run fine on Python 3.9.3 and later.

Notice

On 2015-06-04, I made the v2 API the default on the master branch. The former master branch using the v1 API is still available on Github as api-v1, but will no longer be updated. The one feature that's only available with the old API is the option to backup password-protected blogs. There's no way to pass a password in Tumblr's v2 API.
