Rtumblr is a wrapper for the official tumblr API. (An existing CRAN package has been archived)
Installation
You can install the development version of Rtumblr like so:
devtools::install_github("schochastics/Rtumblr")
API keys
You need to register an app here: https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps Then, create an environment variable called “RTUMBLR_TOKEN” (for instance in .Renviron
) from the consumer_key and the consumer_secret as follows. If you have
consumer_key = 123456789
consumer_secret = abcdefghi
Then your environment variable RTUMBLR_TOKEN should be 123456789;abcdefghi
