Tumblr API - lkacoy/webdev-cs5610-project GitHub Wiki

The third-party API that I chose to integrate with my project is the Tumblr API.

This API is using only some GET requests that required an API secret key. The primary use case for these requests is to get some blog information and the avatar of a blog. Please see direct links to the main API requests used.

• /info
• /avatar
• /tagged
• /posts

These API requests can be executed using the following scenario:

• Go to the project home page https://cs5610project-angular-lexi.herokuapp.com/
• Underneath the headers, you will find a paragraph stating "Interested in finding some inspiration before creating your own?" Click the link following this sentence
• This leads to a search page. You can search for blogs on Tumblr here. The text search looks at the tags of a Tumblr post. It will only return a maximum of 20 results. If you wish to limit the results, you can change the amount returned, but it must be a number between 1-20. The results will be dislayed in a table below the search bar. From here you can click a link to leave the website and go to Tumblr and view other information about the post.
• Click "View Blog Info" in the first table cell of any search result. This will display a new page detailing information about the blog that the post came from. It will also retrieve the blog's avatar and display it in the top left corner. Underneath the blog information, you will be able to see a list of recent posts published to the blog.
