client.posts: Malformed JSON

zolointo commented 10 years ago

I'm attempting to use client.posts() to retrieve a pseudo-mirror of my tumblr in order to echo them over to an associated twitter account.

My TumblrRestClient appears to be set up properly as client.info() or client.posts('metroidvanias') returns results.

As soon as I attempt to send a limit or offset, I get:

print(client.posts('metroidvanias', {'limit': 1}))
{'meta': {'status': 500, 'msg': 'Server Error'}, 'response': {'error': 'Malformed JSON or HTML was returned.'}}

Super python newb, so here are some other details:

Working in PyCharm
Python 2.7 interpreter being used
Manually created an api string that returns results in a browser, but aim is to gather the guts of all of my posts in 20-post chunks that the api appears to max out at

Any idea of where I'm going wrong with this?

Thanks, and best regards, -Matt

I think the call you're looking for is:

client.posts('seejohnrun', limit=1)

Hope this helps - let me know if you're running into more issues!

Doh! Should have caught that. Thanks very much.
