Does the program deal gracefully with tumblr's rate limit (1000 requests per hour, 5000 requests per day for new keys)? If not, can I restart the program so that checks whether a file already exists and doesn't download it again?

Follow every step but I always get an "unauthorized".

I'm really new about those things. I actually tried to use this yesterday for 4 hours
but still having problems. :( below
export.rb:5:in <main>': undefined local variable or method [redacted API KEY]' for main:Object (NameError)
got this error. please save us I think so many people are looking for your git now because of their terrible decision but some of them cannot use this like me. I really hope you check this ASAP
thanks

See #7 (comment)

I am using the script on Windows 10 64 bit with Ruby 2.5.0

When running the script, I get the following error

1: from C:/Program Files/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require'
C:/Program Files/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require': cannot load such file -- nokogiri/nokogiri (LoadError)

Installing nokogiri again does not solve the problem

C:\Tools\Web\tumblr-full-backup-master>gem install nokogiri -f
Nokogiri is built with the packaged libraries: libxml2-2.9.5, libxslt-1.1.30, zlib-1.2.11, libiconv-1.15.

I am using the recent version of your script on OSX 10.11.4. I have over 2400 liked posts but your script only saves 1109 images. The strange thing is that the terminal output looks like it's continuing with download, but the images folder stays at 1109 images.

~/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- httparty (LoadError)
	from ~/.rbenv/versions/2.3.0/lib/ruby/2.3.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
	from export.rb:2:in `<main>'

Probably my ruby version, I'll update and report back.

Thanks for making this btw, very useful.

There is a typo in the download method:

download_num = get_liked_count

Should be:

@download_num = get_liked_count

I tried to download my 493 likes, but only got this error:

C:\Ruby23-x64\bin>ruby export.rb
Downloading 500 posts
Unauthorized
Aaaaand we're done, parsed 20

My username and OAuth Consumer Key is correct, is there any problem with the API?

Upon running ruby.exe export.rb I got this:

Error: no implicit conversion of String into Integer
Error: ["export.rb:61:in []'", "export.rb:61:in get_liked_count'", "export.rb:130:in start'", "export.rb:179:in

'"]

If I print parsed_response with puts parsed_response.inspec on line 62 this is the result:

{"meta"=>{"status"=>404, "msg"=>"Not Found"}, "response"=>[], "errors"=>[{"title"=>"Not Found", "code"=>0, "detail"=>"Minor hiccup. Try again."}]}

One of the parameters of Tumblr is the offset, where you can start at a certain liked photo.

Your code doesn't support this. It seems to set the offset to 0 and will always start there.

In order to get around the 1000 image limit set by Tumblr, it seems as though you would need to take into account the offset, so people could download images 0-1000, or 1001-2000 etc.

I changed line offset = i*@limit to offset = 1000 and that worked, and it seems Tumblr only allows the last 1000 images. If you set it this way, it won't download any more images.

So this appears to be a limitation of Tumblr, not the script code. The script is really only good if you have less than 1000 likes. I suppose to get around it, you can run the script, unlike 1000 likes, then run again.. until you have all your likes.

Love the script. It was working great for the first 1,204 images (it reported a total of 5K in the beginning), until I was thrown this:

export.rb:55:in get_photos': undefined method [] for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from export.rb:133:in block in download
from export.rb:127:in times
from export.rb:127:in download
from export.rb:145:in main

Canceling my comment. It looks like there is a 1000 image limit on Tumblr that this code can't get around.

If you try downloading more than 1000, it will start to re-download the first few images over and over again once you hit the limit.

Actually the second update to this code worked better, as it would at least stop downloading the last X images over and over again. The third update broke that again.

Is there a way to start the script in the second 1000 likes, or is the 1000 limit always the latest 1000?

After following all the steps I get this Unauthorized issue.

Hi Javier,
am I doing something wrong, or tumblr changed how you can access the Likes?

I am receiving the following response from the api:
{"meta":{"status":403,"msg":"Forbidden"},"response":[],"errors":[{"title":"Forbidden","code":0,"detail":"Hit a snag. Try again."}]}
If I try the link https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/NAME.tumblr.com/info?api_key=KEY
It's working.

I noticed that in the Blog settings, the link is different: tumblr.com/liked/by/NAME

Can someone please help with a new tutorial for begginers?
