#Overview Couldn't find a nice clean class that I liked to interact with Tumblr v2 API. Some help from ryanmcgrath twython class, thanks a lot. Reading over some of that code helped a lot! Hope this documentation explains everything you need to get started. Any questions feel free to email me or inbox me.
#Authorization URL Get an authorization url for your user
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*')
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_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.
#Handling the callback
t = Tumblpy(app_key = '*your app key*',
app_secret = '*your app secret*',
oauth_token=session['tumblr_session_keys']['oauth_token'],
oauth_token_secret=session['tumblr_session_keys']['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_access_token(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?#Getting some user information
# 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']
# Let's get their blog posts for that URL
posts = t.get('posts', blog_url=blog_url)
print posts
