There's nothing I can do about this. The API only allows sequential access, so scanning is needed.
Sequential access only? Isn't there a before
parameter, and a potentially arbitrary offset
parameter (for binary searching)?
@Cebtenzzreep That what I meant. It would faster than way.
Imagine if you have to wait for tumblr_backup to index whole posts on a blog that over 8 years old. Downloading posts from specified year would be a pain. Especially if what you were doing is backing up the posts sperated by years: you have to do start over, start over again, and over again.
I requested the same thing, and they done it. https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues/337
I haven't archived the goal since gallery-dl
has limited API than tumblr_backup.py
, I have no idea why?
Please take a look:
The case is I'm backing up a Tumblr blog periodically, not incremental. Eg.
This will produce something like
staff-2004/
,staff-2005/
, etc.The problem is, It starts from begin to the latest. Eg, I just want to download a blog on period 2006, but it will scan from 2004 to 2016, then download that period. Imagine, the blog has 100,000+ posts and is 8 years old.
