#Tumblr Scraper (Videos and Post for Likes Only)

I threw this Tumblr Scraper together to grab all of my photos/videos from my likes and save them on my hard drive. You can run this as well, but you'll need to install the PyTumblr package, and create a file called oauth_keys.log in the same directory as the script. In that file you will enter your consumer_key, consumer_secret, oauth_token, and oath_secret on separate lines and in that order.

pip install PyTumblr

In the future I would like to add several more features:

• Grab content from your posts and other's posts (if possible)
• Grab content other than photos/video
• Store data in an embedded nosql database like codernity so the user can just call an update to grab new content
• more flexible oauth retrieval

Again, make sure you install PyTumblr then just go to the directory and type:

python TumblrScraper.py posts videos

Where the first argument is the directory for your photos, and the second is for videos.
