Adding a Tumblr OAuth application

Before you can start exporting posts, you’ll need to add a new OAuth application to your Tumblr account. This will allow TumblBee to access Tumblr’s API directly as your user, without requiring you to enter your username or password.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Tumblr account and navigate to Settings. Click Apps in the sidebar (or in the drop-down menu on mobile).

2. At the bottom of the settings pane, click the Register link to open the OAuth apps page.

3. Click the green + Register application button.

4. Fill in the fields specified below. Any fields not listed can be left blank.

   Field Name	Value
   Application Name	TumblBee
   Application Website	https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee
   Application Description	A short description of the application
   Administrative contact email	Your email address
   Default callback URL	http://localhost:8080
   OAuth2 redirect URLs	http://localhost:8080

5. Complete the CAPTCHA, then click Register to save your application.

Once you’ve saved your application, you’ll be redirected back to the OAuth apps page, where your newly-created app will be listed. Click Show secret key to reveal the secret key for your app. Your OAuth consumer key and secret key are the credentials you’ll use to sign in with TumblBee.
