Tumblr API Skill

Comprehensive assistance with Tumblr API development, authentication, and integration. This skill provides practical guidance for building applications that interact with Tumblr's platform.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be triggered when:

• Integrating with the Tumblr API (any version)
• Implementing OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0 authentication for Tumblr
• Working with Tumblr blog data, posts, likes, or followers
• Building Tumblr clients, dashboard tools, or analytics applications
• Debugging Tumblr API requests or responses
• Understanding Tumblr's Neue Post Format (NPF) or legacy post types
• Managing rate limits or API quotas
• Handling Tumblr webhooks or real-time updates

Quick Reference

1. Fetch Blog Information

Retrieve basic blog metadata including title, description, and post count:

curl -H 'User-Agent: MyApp/1.0' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/info?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY'

Response includes: Blog title, URL, post count, description, avatar, theme settings.

2. Get Recent Posts

Retrieve the 5 most recent posts from a blog:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/posts?limit=5'

Query parameters:

• limit: 1-20 posts per request
• offset: Pagination offset
• tag: Filter by tag
• npf=true: Request Neue Post Format

3. OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange

Exchange authorization code for access token:

curl -X POST https://api.tumblr.com/v2/oauth2/token \
  -F grant_type=authorization_code \
  -F code=YOUR_AUTH_CODE \
  -F client_id=YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY \
  -F client_secret=YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET

Scopes: basic, write, offline_access

4. Get Blog Avatar

Fetch blog avatar image URL:

curl 'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/avatar/128'

Available sizes: 16, 24, 30, 40, 48, 64, 96, 128, 512 (default: 64)

5. Retrieve Liked Posts

Get posts liked by a blog:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/likes?limit=20&offset=0'

Parameters: limit, offset, before (timestamp), after (timestamp)

6. Queue Management

Retrieve queued posts:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/myblog.tumblr.com/posts/queue'

Reorder queue:

curl -X POST https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/myblog.tumblr.com/posts/queue/reorder \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -d 'post_id=123456789'

7. Get Followers

Retrieve blog followers:

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/myblog.tumblr.com/followers'

Response includes: Total follower count, follower blog objects with names and URLs.

8. Filter Posts by Tag

Retrieve posts with specific tag:

curl -H 'User-Agent: MyApp/1.0' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=YOUR_KEY&tag=photography&limit=10'

9. Standard API Response Format

All Tumblr API responses follow this structure:

{
  "meta": {
    "status": 200,
    "msg": "OK"
  },
  "response": {
    "blog": { },
    "posts": [ ]
  }
}

10. Working with Blog Identifiers

Three interchangeable identifier formats:

# Blog name
/v2/blog/staff/info

# Hostname
/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/info

# UUID (stable, persistent)
/v2/blog/t:0aY0xL2Fi1OFJg4YxpmegQ/info

Recommendation: Use UUID for long-term stability (survives blog renames).

Key Concepts

Authentication Levels

1. None - Public endpoints (blog info, public posts) require no authentication
2. API Key - Use OAuth Consumer Key as api_key query parameter
3. OAuth - Signed requests using OAuth 1.0a or OAuth 2.0 for user-specific data

Rate Limits

Per IP Address:

• 300 calls/minute
• 18,000 calls/hour
• 432,000 calls/day

Per Consumer Key:

• 1,000 calls/hour
• 5,000 calls/day

Action Limits:

• 250 posts/day
• 200 follows/day
• 1,000 likes/day

Post Formats

Legacy Post Types:

• Text, Photo, Quote, Link, Chat, Audio, Video, Answer

Neue Post Format (NPF):

• Modern block-based format
• Posts with type: blocks or is_blocks_post_format: true
• Request with npf=true parameter
• Contains content (blocks), layout (specifications), trail (reblog chain)

Post IDs

Post IDs are 64-bit integers. Important: Use id_string field for JavaScript or languages with unsafe integer handling.

Required Headers

User-Agent: Mandatory for all requests. Must be consistent. Format: AppName/Version

Content-Type: Required for POST/PUT with body. Accepted:

• application/json
• application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• multipart/form-data

Reference Files

• api.md - Complete Tumblr API documentation including:

- All authentication methods (OAuth 1.0a, OAuth 2.0, API key) - Blog endpoints (info, posts, avatar, likes, following, followers) - User endpoints (dashboard, likes, following) - Post creation and management - Queue and draft management - Neue Post Format (NPF) specification - Legacy post type fields - Rate limits and best practices - Response format documentation

Working with This Skill

For Beginners

1. Start with public endpoints - No authentication needed:

- Fetch blog info: /v2/blog/{blog}/info?api_key={key} - Get public posts: /v2/blog/{blog}/posts?api_key={key}

1. Register your application:

- Visit https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps - Get OAuth Consumer Key and Secret - Use Consumer Key as api_key for public endpoints

1. Test with API Console:

- https://api.tumblr.com/console - Interactive testing environment

For OAuth Implementation

1. Choose OAuth version:

- OAuth 2.0: Modern, simpler, bearer tokens - OAuth 1.0a: Legacy, more complex, signed requests

1. OAuth 2.0 flow:

- Redirect user to authorization URL with scopes - Exchange authorization code for access token - Use token in Authorization: Bearer {token} header

1. OAuth 1.0a flow:

- Request temporary credentials - Redirect user to authorize - Exchange verifier for access token - Sign all requests with token

For Advanced Features

1. Neue Post Format (NPF):

- Add npf=true to any post-returning endpoint - Work with content blocks and layout objects - Access full reblog trail

1. Pagination:

- Use offset for numeric pagination - Use before/after with timestamps for chronological navigation - Check _links object for next/previous URLs

1. Partial responses:

- Use fields parameter to specify blog object fields - Reduces response size and improves performance

1. JSONP support:

- Add jsonp=callbackName to GET requests - Useful for client-side JavaScript

Common Patterns

Authentication Flow (OAuth 2.0)

# Step 1: Redirect user to authorization URL
https://www.tumblr.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={key}&response_type=code&scope=basic%20write&state={random}

# Step 2: User authorizes, Tumblr redirects back with code
# Your redirect URL receives: ?code={auth_code}

# Step 3: Exchange code for access token
curl -X POST https://api.tumblr.com/v2/oauth2/token \
  -F grant_type=authorization_code \
  -F code={auth_code} \
  -F client_id={consumer_key} \
  -F client_secret={consumer_secret}

# Step 4: Use access token in requests
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer {access_token}' \
  'https://api.tumblr.com/v2/user/info'

Error Handling

{
  "meta": {
    "status": 401,
    "msg": "Unauthorized"
  },
  "response": [ ],
  "errors": [
    {
      "title": "Unauthorized",
      "code": 401,
      "detail": "OAuth authentication required"
    }
  ]
}

Common status codes:

• 200: Success
• 401: Unauthorized (missing/invalid credentials)
• 404: Not Found (blog or post doesn't exist)
• 429: Rate Limit Exceeded
• 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

Handling Large Post Counts

# Fetch all posts using pagination
offset=0
limit=20

while true; do
  curl "https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/staff.tumblr.com/posts?api_key={key}&limit=${limit}&offset=${offset}"
  offset=$((offset + limit))
  # Check if response contains fewer than 'limit' posts, then break
done

Best Practices

1. Always include User-Agent header - Inconsistent or missing User-Agent may result in suspension
2. Respect rate limits - Implement exponential backoff for 429 responses
3. Use UUIDs for blog identifiers - More stable than blog names (survive renames)
4. Cache blog info - Reduce API calls by caching static blog data
5. Use NPF for new integrations - Legacy formats may be deprecated
6. Handle 64-bit integers carefully - Use id_string for JavaScript
7. Validate responses - Check meta.status before processing response
