Discord bot to share tumblr searches automatically

Works with twitter, but not tumblr. #5

Hello!

I have tried recreating this bot, have followed all steps, have the bot in the discord server, got the auth keys, etc.

Also, Twitter works mostly fine, but I can't seem to have it post only what a specific user is posting from tumblr. When I ask it to follow a tumblr blog, it does say that "it is now following that", but still nothing after a while. edit: only some format work, I still haven't figured out what exactly will work for one user.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

It will only post new things from a tumblr, and not mention existing things at the point of following. Was a post made on these blogs that wasn't reported?

Twitter's own search function seems to have trouble with searching for specific users. I tried to make some software checks for this too, but even that has issues. I will have to investigate the twitter protocol more to figure out a better workaround. If you need the current method, it's from:xxx

Closing because no response, assume it works now.

Sorry about this, completely forgot about it once yours was back up.

I figured out how to get specific feeds, it's not perfect but works ok. Also figured out how to make the tumblr blogs work properly... somewhat.

Right now, the issue is that posts that are taken directly from the original tumblr show up as links only. If I reblog it thru my personal tumblr and have tumbleweed post that, it will work.

To clarify: Tumblr#1 post a thing, tumbleweed posts it as a link only.

Tumblr#2 reblog the thing Tumblr#1 posted, tumbleweed posts it properly embedded, with a link right above it.

Check https://github.com/logicplace/TumbleWeed-Discord/issues/6#issuecomment-355643929 Tumblr#1 is probably identified as a nsfw blog

Right, that's it. Thanks.

Getting off-topic a bit here, but as a workaround, how would I go about to automatically reblog something on another tumblr? I read up a bit and it seems IFTTT applets would be the right thing, but I can't seem to make it work.

Any ideas?

I wonder if it could be possible to make it so that if the bot would detects the nsfw flag, then auto-reblog to a separate tumblr and then post it.
