Last week, two of our engineers, Wolf and JC, got to stay up all night eating pizza with some really talented young hackers at two different hackathons — 2013 hackNY Student Hackathon at Columbia University and Photo Hack Day at Facebook HQ.

After a long day of hacking, pizza, sleep deprivation, more pizza, and some DIY tacos, participants demoed their hacks, including a few for the Tumblr API. We were absolutely blown away by the creativity and quality of the projects and look forward to seeing what you’ll build at the next hackathon!

Over the past few weeks we’ve open-sourced quite a few official client libraries for the Tumblr API. Today I’m proud to announce the Tumblr iOS SDK, an Objective-C library for easily integrating Tumblr data into your iOS (or OS X) applications, however you see it.

The Tumblr SDK for iOS contains a few different components to start:

• Authentication (OAuth and xAuth implementations)
• A full wrapper around all of our API endpoints
• Inter-app communication (this is pretty limited at the moment but we plan to expand it quite a bit going forward)
• A UIActivity stub for easy inclusion of a Tumblr button in a standard Apple UIActivityViewController

We’ve been using this SDK in production for quite some time now and are thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.

If you’re interested in integrating with Tumblr on iOS or OS X in a way that the SDK doesn’t currently facilitate, please get in touch. I’m very interested in hearing any and all feedback on how we can make this as easy as possible.

tumblr.php

I’m here to announce another new addition to our list of official API clients. This week we have tumblr.php - it’s available on GitHub and composer via packagist. It is tested, is PSR-2 compatible, and is well documented.

Like the other clients we’ve been announcing (most recently JS and Java) it has full support for all of the Tumblr v2 API endpoints.

Time to make something cool!

tumblr Java client: jumblr

Last week we announced our first official API client, for JavaScript (read: the announcement). This week we’re back to announce the release of an official Java client, Jumblr:

Blog blog = client.blogInfo("seejohnrun.tumblr.com");
for (Post post : blog.posts()) {
    post.like(); // you're too kind..
}

Like its JavaScript counterpart, Jumblr comes with full support for all of the API V2 endpoints. Check out more detail on the github page!

tumblr.js JavaScript client

Today I’m excited to announce the release of tumblr.js, the first of several official API clients we’ll be rolling out over the next few months.

You can install it now with npm, and start making something awesome:

var tumblr = require('tumblr.js');
var client = tumblr.createClient({
  consumer_key: 'consumer_key',
  consumer_secret: 'consumer_secret',
  token: 'oauth_token',
  token_secret: 'oauth_token_secret'
});

// Name all of the authenticating user's blogs
client.userInfo(function (err, data) {
  data.user.blogs.forEach(function (blog) {
    console.log(blog.name);
  });
});

It comes with full support for all of the API V2 endpoints including tag search, following, liking, and post creation. For more detail, see the GitHub page.

More to come soon!
