Hey all,

I’m happy to announce the release of the 0.8.0 version of our tumblr_client gem! This release is a major bump from our 0.7.5 release! An important update is the deprecation of the :raw_data parameter for posting. If you need this parameter do not update past 0.7.5.

Changelog

Removing support for :raw_data parameter for posting

Adding support for multipart file uploading

Removing all custom OAuth code and letting better tested libraries take care of it for us!

Allowing you to configure any of your favorite ruby HTTP clients supported by Faraday!

And if you have any issues, let me know here or @codingjester on Twitter or report issues directly here.

Last week, two of our engineers, Wolf and JC, got to stay up all night eating pizza with some really talented young hackers at two different hackathons — 2013 hackNY Student Hackathon at Columbia University and Photo Hack Day at Facebook HQ.

Over the past few weeks we’ve open-sourced quite a few official client libraries for the Tumblr API. Today I’m proud to announce the Tumblr iOS SDK, an Objective-C library for easily integrating Tumblr data into your iOS (or OS X) applications, however you see it.

The Tumblr SDK for iOS contains a few different components to start:

Authentication (OAuth and xAuth implementations)

A full wrapper around all of our API endpoints

Inter-app communication (this is pretty limited at the moment but we plan to expand it quite a bit going forward)

A UIActivity stub for easy inclusion of a Tumblr button in a standard Apple UIActivityViewController

We’ve been using this SDK in production for quite some time now and are thrilled to finally be able to share it with you.

tumblr.php

I’m here to announce another new addition to our list of official API clients. This week we have tumblr.php - it’s available on GitHub and composer via packagist. It is tested, is PSR-2 compatible, and is well documented.

Like the other clients we’ve been announcing (most recently JS and Java) it has full support for all of the Tumblr v2 API endpoints.

tumblr Java client: jumblr

Last week we announced our first official API client, for JavaScript (read: the announcement). This week we’re back to announce the release of an official Java client, Jumblr:

Blog blog = client.blogInfo("seejohnrun.tumblr.com"); for (Post post : blog.posts()) { post.like(); // you're too kind.. }

Like its JavaScript counterpart, Jumblr comes with full support for all of the API V2 endpoints. Check out more detail on the github page!

tumblr.js JavaScript client

Today I’m excited to announce the release of tumblr.js, the first of several official API clients we’ll be rolling out over the next few months.

You can install it now with npm, and start making something awesome:

var tumblr = require('tumblr.js'); var client = tumblr.createClient({ consumer_key: 'consumer_key', consumer_secret: 'consumer_secret', token: 'oauth_token', token_secret: 'oauth_token_secret' }); // Name all of the authenticating user's blogs client.userInfo(function (err, data) { data.user.blogs.forEach(function (blog) { console.log(blog.name); }); });

It comes with full support for all of the API V2 endpoints including tag search, following, liking, and post creation. For more detail, see the GitHub page.
