This was a great experience! Very easy to set up and use.
Only real constructive feedback I have is that I find that it appending "/tumblbee" to whatever folder I choose to be very annoying. It should be whatever folder I select, period.
Other than that, it was great to use. If I were to recommend more features, I have had to find several other tools to export other things from Tumblr and converting them to Markdown. It would be great of TumblBee did all of it!
Iām so glad to hear it was a smooth experience for you! Thank you so much! ā¤ļø
I can definitely understand how the default export folder behavior might be unexpected and frustrating. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Iām prepping a small bug fix release for sometime this week, so Iāll see about getting some changes added in, as well.
I will also see about getting some of these other feature requests added in as time permits, though I canāt make any promises on an ETA!
Blog avatars and backdrops: Avatars are already included in HTML exports, and I can very easily append them to Markdown exports, as well. Iāll make sure that backdrops (or āheader imagesā, as Tumblr calls them) are also included.
Conversations: As far as I can tell, these arenāt accessible through Tumblrās documented API endpoints. Unless I can find proof to the contrary, these will probably end up being out of scope for TumblBee, as thereās always some risk where scraping is concerned. š®āšØ Sorry about that!
Followers and followings: Definitely API-accessible! I will probably offer a choice of export formats here, but let me know if you have a strong preference.
Likes: Iām considering building a separate application for handling likes, though again, no ETA as of yet! Watch this space š
Very cool, thank you for sharing! I'm wondering which size of image it's able to get? In my experience, Tumblr's official archive is able to get the original images, which are hard to get otherwise (https://github.com/cebtenzzre/tumblr-utils/issues/24). Also, JSON would be very useful as an export format if possible! ^^
TumblBee is designed to always grab the original version of any media thatās passed to it. In newer posts, these original-size media are marked with has_original_dimensions: true, but this field is absent on posts made before the rollout of NPF and the new API (2018). To get around this, Iāve chosen to instead grab the first media file provided for any given block. Since media sizes are returned in descending order, in my testing, this always returns the original media file. If you should see anything different in your testing, though, please do report it as a bug so I can look into it.
JSON format is a great suggestionāthank you! Iāll see about getting that added sometime in the next few days!
Just to make sure Iām developing with the right use case in mind, can you tell me a little bit more about how youād like to use a JSON export? Are you hoping for something that exports in Tumblrās own JSON format, totally unmodified (so TumblBee just serves as a friendlier front end for the API), or would you like to see a modified JSON output with some content processing done, closer to what youād get from the Markdown or HTML exports? Any details you can provide would be a big help! š
I'm so sorry for missing this! I didn't have email notifications for replies on. T_T I guess I'm thinking of something that could easily be processed later into HTML? As long as all the info is preserved in a useful way, I could hack something around it for my purposes!
Thanks again for making this, and for your reply above about the image sizes, I didn't know some of that!
Whoops, definitely an oversightāthanks for flagging it! Iāll add a note to the current docs, and Iāll try to get an update out with a fix this week š

Thanks again, for both this and TumblMark!

Not a bug but worth mentioning in FAQ; Once you get a "limit reached" message clicking "start export" will make it delete all its progress.
Closing and reopening will result in "failed to get user info from Tumblr"

Just wanted to follow upāversion 1.1.0 is now available, which adds the ability to resume unfinished exports. Thanks again for reporting this!
