• ChangeLog for the Week of 11/09/12

  This week, we are excited to bring a new feature to the API: the ability to consume a user’s likes if they have been made public in their Settings.

  Here’s an example request:

  http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/codingjester.tumblr.com/likes?api_key=your_key

  You’ll receive a payload of Post objects that have been liked by that user. If you attempt to access a blog that has not shared their likes, you will get our standard 401.

  This could become a guessing game on which blog have support the access of their likes. To prevent this, we’ve added a new field: share_likes to the blog object, accessible from the /info and the /user/info routes.

  Lets look at an example payload from the /info route.

  Please check out the latest documentation for any further details. As always, our Ask box is always open for feedback and questions!

• ChangeLog for 08/24/12

  Today we’re announcing the release of a brand new feature: our Tagged API, which allows developers to find posts based on their tags.

  Lets take a look at an example with the gif tag.

  http://api.tumblr.com/v2/tagged?tag=gif&api_key=your_consumer_key
  

  
  

  The response will be a pay load of post objects that have been most recently added to that tag.

  Pagination is taken care of by the “before” parameter. This is the timestamp that is returned from one of the post objects in the pay load. Lets look at an example of pagination.

  http://api.tumblr.com/v2/tagged?tag=gif?before=1345742848&api_key=your_consumer_key
  

  
  

  Note: You have to be authenticated with OAuth to access certain tags that are considered adult in nature.

  As always our inbox is always open or join our Forum if you have any questions.

• ChangeLog for 08/13/12

  With access to private posts & blogs being released last week, we decided to add a field called state which indicates the state the current post is in. This field will be available on the /post, /queue and /draft routes as part of the response object for posts.

  As a side related fix to this, we have added the ability for you to create a private post by using the state parameter with the value of private.

  Documentation has been updated here.

  As always, feel free to drop a note to our Asks if you have any questions or issues!
