Generate a OAuth token and secret for the Tumblr.com API

This is a micro Gem to get an OAuth token and secret for the Tumblr.com API allowing an external application to post Tumblr.com blog.

Make a directory, cd into it, download the microgem's Gemfile and run bundle install

mkdir /path/to/some/new/dir
cd /path/to/some/new/dir
wget https://gist.github.com/raw/4577106/6bc9befedcd5238ce9f2ee562cace666dece460c/Gemfile
bundle install

Go to the Tumblr OAuth Applications panel, http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps, log in if prompted.

Click the "+ Register application" button to grant access to your application and fill in the following to register a new application. Unless you know otherwise, use this URL for the "Default callback URL" http://sasquatch.github.com/tumblr.html

  • Application name
  • Application website
  • Application description
  • Administrative contact email
  • Default callback URL

Click "Register" and you'll be redirected back to http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps . Make note of your new "OAuth Consumer Key" and "Show secret key / Secret Key" for the application you've just registered.

Now generate OAuth token and secret that your application will use to post to your tumblr in the following manner.
