Installing Tumbply is simple:

Usage
-----

Importing
~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

from tumblpy import Tumblpy

Authorization URL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

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_url

Once 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
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

# 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?

Getting some User information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

# 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']

Getting posts from a certain blog
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

# Assume you are using the blog_url and Tumblpy instance from the previous section
posts = t.get('posts', blog_url=blog_url)
print posts
# or you could use the `posts` method
audio_posts = t.posts(blog_url, 'audio')
print audio_posts
all_posts = t.posts(blog_url)
print all_posts

Creating a post with a photo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::

# 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

Posting an Edited Photo *(This example resizes a photo)*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

# 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

from PIL import Image
from StringIO import StringIO

photo = Image.open('/path/to/file/image.jpg')

basewidth = 320
wpercent = (basewidth / float(photo.size[0]))
height = int((float(photo.size[1]) * float(wpercent)))
photo = photo.resize((basewidth, height), Image.ANTIALIAS)

image_io = StringIO.StringIO()
photo.save(image_io, format='JPEG')

image_io.seek(0)

try:
post = t.post('post', blog_url=blog_url, params={'type':'photo', 'caption': 'Test Caption', 'data': photo})
print post
except TumblpyError, e:
# Maybe the file was invalid?
print e.message

Following a user
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

# Assume you are using the blog_url and Tumblpy instance from the previous sections
try:
follow = t.post('user/follow', params={'url': 'tumblpy.tumblr.com'})
except TumblpyError:
# if the url given in params is not valid,
# Tumblr will respond with a 404 and Tumblpy will raise a TumblpyError

Get a User Avatar URL *(No need for authentication for this method)*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

t = Tumblpy()
avatar = t.get_avatar_url(blog_url='tumblpy.tumblr.com', size=128)
print avatar['url']

# OR

avatar = t.get('avatar', blog_url='tumblpy.tumblr.com', extra_endpoints=['128'])
print avatar['url']

Catching errors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

try:
t.post('user/info')
except TumbplyError, e:
print e.message
print 'Something bad happened :('
