Tumblr Mass Edit Utilities

⚠️ Warning: Use at your own risk! Not thoroughly tested! I do not recommend running on a blog you might actually care about.

This is a collection of utilities ("commands") to mass edit posts on a Tumblr blog.

There are currently three commands that are supported:

  1. ClearLikes: Unlikes all previously liked posts.
  2. PrivatizePosts: Turns all published posts private.
  3. UpdateCommunityLabels: Updates the community labels on all published posts.

Each command allows for an optional tag & start date to filter on which published posts are being updated.

Instructions

  1. Run bundle install to install the gems!
  2. Copy config/application_config.sample.rb to config/application_config.rb.
  3. Add your Tumblr API keys & Tumblr OAuth tokens to that configuration file.
    • If you have more than 1k posts that you want to make private, you'll need to have "backup" API keys & OAuth tokens by adding more than one set of credentials to the config. I recommend having at least one set of key per every ~950 posts or so.
      • ⚠️ Please take caution when doing this! This may be against Tumblr's terms of service.
  4. Change the tumblr_blog_url in the configuration file to your blog URL.

ClearLikes

To run the ClearLikes command, use the ClearLikes argument:

  1. Run ruby script.rb ClearLikes
    • ruby script.rb ClearLikes --help will list all of the available options.

PrivatizePosts

To run the PrivatizePosts command, use the PrivatizePosts argument:

  1. Run ruby script.rb PrivatizePosts --state_date=YYYY-MM-DD
    • ruby script.rb PrivatizePosts --help will list all of the available options.

UpdateCommunityLabels

Note: This is currently not supported by non-official API clients. Keep an eye on Tumblr's public API documentation for when this is supported.

To run the UpdateCommunityLabels command, use the UpdateCommunityLabels argument:

  1. Run ruby script.rb UpdateCommunityLabels --community_labels=sexual_themes,violence,drug_use
    • ruby script.rb UpdateCommunityLabels --help will list all of the available options.

Development

If you'd like to contribute, you'll probably want to get Sorbet up and running by either...:

  1. Use VSCode and install watchman (brew install watchman on macOS) & the Sorbet extension
  2. Add a pre-commit hook that runs srb tc

Adding a new utility

If you'd like to add a new utility, please...:

  • Add a new command in lib/command with the following structure:
# typed: strict

class Command::NewCommand < Command
  extend T::Sig

  sig {params(options: Options, config: Config, client: TumblrClient).void}
  def call(options, config, client)
    Base::IterateThroughPosts.call(options, config, client) do |post|
      puts "Updating post #{post.id} (#{post.post_url})" if options.verbose
      # do something
    end
  end
end
  • Add the command to the Command::Command enum in lib/lib/command.rb:
 class Command < T::Enum
   enums do
     PrivatizePosts = new
     UpdateCommunityLabels = new
+    NewCommand = new
   end
 end
  • Add the new file to lib/tumblr_utilties.rb to ensure it's loaded:
# note, order matters!
require_relative('command/new_command.rb')
  • Add the new command call to the entry script.rb file:
when Command::Command::NewCommand
  Command::NewCommand.call(options, config, client)
  • And then you can call it via:
ruby script.rb NewCommand

Need help?

File an issue! I'm more than happy to assist where I can. :)
