I just installed the module and guess successfully create app in tumblr website, but received an odd error calling followers method:

client.info()

{'user': {'blogs': [{'admin': True, 'ask': False, 'ask_anon': False, 'ask_page_title': 'Ask me anything', 'can_send_fan_mail': True, 'can_subscribe': False, 'description': '', 'drafts': 0, 'facebook': 'N', 'facebook_opengraph_enabled': 'N', 'followed': False, 'followers': 0, 'is_adult': False, 'is_blocked_from_primary': False, 'is_nsfw': False, 'likes': 0, 'messages': 0, 'name': 'isaac2lord', ...

client.followers('cadillac.tumblr.com')

{'errors': [{'detail': 'It did not work', 'title': 'Unauthorized'}], 'meta': {'msg': 'Unauthorized', 'status': 401}, 'response': []}

'd appreciate any word of wisdom anyone can share.

Blog owners can choose whether to show who they're following or not. I'm guessing it's because they aren't sharing that data, and therefore you can't see who they're following.

Have tried on couple of other examples but none works. Am interested to see a single example that would work with .followers method.

The followers api is available for you to find out who is following a blog you own or one that you are a member of. If you own, for example, https://isaacsh.tumblr.com/ then you should not get an error when retrieving followers for that blog.

Thanks @jasonpenny, didn't know that. Do we have an endpoint that shows someone's else followers count/info, as in GET followers/ids in TW?

jasonpenny commented 6 years ago

Sorry, @Isaacsh I don't think there is an endpoint that shows that for blogs that you are not a member/owner of
