post to tumblr using php - php

Question

Could anyone help me figure out how to post to tumblr using php.
I tried googling for a library or a sample code but couldn't find one. all I can find is this here https://github.com/alexdunae/tumblr-php/blob/master/Tumblr.php and it doesnt seem to work also I looked and tried the code on v1 api at tumblr website that doesnt work either ....
function post($data){
if(function_exists("curl_version")){
$data["email"] = $this->email;
$data["password"] = $this->password;
$data["generator"] = $this->generator;
$request = http_build_query($data);
$c = curl_init('http://www.tumblr.com/api/write');
curl_setopt($c,CURLOPT_POST,true);
curl_setopt($c,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$request);
curl_setopt($c,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
$return = curl_exec($c);
$status = curl_getinfo($c,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($c);
if($status == "201"){
return true;
}
elseif($status == "403"){
return false;
}
else{
return "error: $return";
}
}
else{
return "error: cURL not installed";
}
}
Thanks for the help

I just noticed that this is showing up as Featured for Tumblr and I want to say this: As of 2012, you should IGNORE the above answer by Tuga because it DOES NOT work with the newest Tumblr API.
What you need is TumblrOAuth which is built from OAuth Sandbox.
It is only setup to read and write Tumblr posts, so if you want to do more than that, you'll need to alter the code. I used it as my code base for Followr.

Stolen from http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api
// Authorization info
$tumblr_email = 'info#davidville.com';
$tumblr_password = 'secret';
// Data for new record
$post_type = 'regular';
$post_title = 'The post title';
$post_body = 'This is the body of the post.';
// Prepare POST request
$request_data = http_build_query(
array(
'email' => $tumblr_email,
'password' => $tumblr_password,
'type' => $post_type,
'title' => $post_title,
'body' => $post_body,
'generator' => 'API example'
)
);
// Send the POST request (with cURL)
$c = curl_init('http://www.tumblr.com/api/write');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request_data);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($c);
$status = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($c);
// Check for success
if ($status == 201) {
echo "Success! The new post ID is $result.\n";
} else if ($status == 403) {
echo 'Bad email or password';
} else {
echo "Error: $result\n";
}
?>

Answer 3

$conskey = "CONSUMER KEY";
$conssec = "CONSUMER SECRET";
$tumblr_blog = "myblog.tumblr.com";
$to_be_posted = "This is the text to be posted";
$oauth = new OAuth($conskey,$conssec);
$oauth->fetch("http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/".$tumblr_blog."/post", array('type'=>'text', 'body'=>$to_be_posted), OAUTH_HTTP_METHOD_POST);
$result = json_decode($oauth->getLastResponse());
if($result->meta->status == 200){
echo 'Success!';
}
This code will let you post to your tumblr blog using tumblr API.
I hope this code helps.

The api example provided by Tuga is working for me (on Wordpress)...so I think your problem lies elsewhere, and not with the example provided. I would also be very appreciative if you guys got a version 2 api working if you could post it.
