Frequently Asked Questions

Tumblr API and scraping

What public data can I retrieve with the Tumblr API?

Read blog profiles, posts, public liked-post collections, following lists and community details or posts. Search by keyword, browse tagged feeds, inspect post content and reblog trails, and retrieve replies, likes and reblogs with their blog identities and timestamps.

Can I retrieve a Tumblr blog’s public likes and following list?

Use Blog Likes with a blog handle to retrieve liked posts, their content, media, engagement and liked timestamps. Use Blog Following to retrieve the public blogs it follows, with blog identity, URLs, avatars and descriptions. Both collections return a cursor for another page.

How do I scrape posts from a public Tumblr blog?

Send a blog handle to Blog Posts to retrieve its published posts with content, tags, media and engagement. Use Post Details with a selected Tumblr permalink to inspect the post and its reblog trail in a dedicated research view.

Tumblr: post discovery, interactions and communities

Can I find Tumblr posts by keyword or tag?

Use Search Posts with a keyword query, or Tagged Posts with a tag, to retrieve matching content, media, blog details and engagement. Choose top or recent sorting, set the result limit, and pass the returned cursor with the same query or tag and sorting to request another page.

Can I retrieve Tumblr comments, likes and reblogs?

Use Post Notes with a blog post permalink to retrieve public replies, likes and reblogs. A community post permalink returns public replies and community details. Interactions include blog identities, timestamps, reply text and original-author indicators, with published engagement totals for your post feedback report.

Can I retrieve Tumblr community details and posts?

Use Community Details with a community slug to read its title, descriptions, imagery, guidelines, tags and published membership counts. Community Posts returns post content, media, author blogs, reactions and engagement. Pass its returned cursor with the same community slug to continue the feed.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
