Help with API code #233

Closed somnomania closed 2 years ago

somnomania commented 2 years ago

I'm an imbecile, and an extreme novice at code and the command line. I'm trying to get my Tumblrs downloaded before the very recent tag bans start wiping things out, and I'm stuck on the API step. I have a code now, but I don't understand what to do with it, and also it seems from the OAuth page like it will limit me to 5000 downloads a day?

To set up your API key, put the OAuth Consumer Key inside the quotes on line 105 of tumblr_backup.py. It should look like API_KEY = 'MY_CONSUMER_KEY'. This is explained in tumblr_backup.md here.
