tumblr2soup

tumblr2soup is a neat little script that will allow you to import posts from Tumblr to Soup.io, without relying on Soup.io's builtin importer (which has been broken for some time).

Features

  • Reads image posts from a Tumblr's RSS feed and posts on Soup.io
  • Adds a source link to each post
  • Properly supports image sets (each image will become a separate post, the description will be duplicated)
  • Can be adjusted if needed

Configuration

You will need a recent version of Ruby to run tumblr2soup, and the tool bundler. After downloading the tumblr2soup repository, simply run bundle install to install all dependencies.

Copy the file config.yml.example to config.yml and add your data.

After a post is made, its ID is stored in the file latest. This allows the importer to continue where it left off when running it again.

In case of failures, tumblr2soup will exit with an error message. latest will contain the last successful post; for posts with multiple images, this may lead to duplicate images being added in the next run.

The latest file may be created manually. The ID of a post has the form XXXXXXXX for a post URL https://...tumblr.com/post/XXXXXXXX/....

Be wary of removing posts from Tumblr: removing a post while tumblr2soup is running can cause posts to be skipped.

Known issues and missing features

  • Can't post to Soup.io groups (should be easy to add, will need support in soup-client first)
  • Infinite retry on failures (should be limited and should distinguish between failure types)
  • Doesn't use the Soup API
