Batch downloads (download with ~ranges)

[ghost]

Is it possible to give a range and only that range be downloaded?

@sun10384 what kind of range you would expect? by days, post number or timestamp? I've been thinking about implementing this feature in a few different ways.

Think numbering would be ideal. Say likes 1000-2000 for example. By days would also be convenient days 60-180 for instance. Thanks for responding!

any update on adding this feature?

So, there are two ways of implementing this.

• Using the offset param that is the Liked post number to start at (taken from the Tumblr API Documentation) that if you see, has a limitation that is described there too:

When using the offset parameter the maximum limit on the offset is 1000. If you would like to get more results than that use either before or after.

So we obviously want to avoid that limitation and get more and more liked posts.

• Use the before or after param. I'm already using before inside to get all the liked posts so we are already have some code doing that.

What you guys are describing is to extend that functionality. We can even start using the after parameter to get posts after a specific date.
