Installation

$ gem install tumblr_draftking

Setup

1. Register an app

https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps

  • Application Name: DraftKing
  • Application Description: [anything]
  • Administrative contact email: [your email address]
  • Default callback URL: [any url]

Once registered you should see your Consumer Key and Secret Key: setup1

2. Get oauth_token and oauth_token_secret

Using your Consumer Key and Secret Key from above, access https://api.tumblr.com/console/calls/user/info
keys

3. Run setup

$ dk setup

Setup will walk you through saving your configuration for future use.

setup2

Usage

Command Line Interface

The CLI will walk you through connecting to your Tumblr account the first time it's run.

  • See: Setup

Once you've got that configured, check the help to familiarize yourself with your options.

$ dk -h

Custom Commands

You can store your DK commands in your configuration file's (i.e. ~/.dkconfig) user_commands array.

Configuration file with two custom commands: tag_with_cool & show_other_account_status

---
:config_name: utb
:api_keys:
  consumer_key: [your_consumer_key]
  consumer_secret: [your_consumer_secret]
  oauth_token: [your_oauth_token]
  oauth_token_secret: [your_oauth_token_secret]
:user_commands:
  tag_with_cool:
    command: dk tag -t cool -c cool
    description: Add the tag and comment 'cool' to posts
    config_name: utb
  show_other_account_status:
    command: dk status --config account2
    description: Show the status blogs under account2
    config_name: account2

Trigger custom command example:

$> dk tag_with_cool

My Workflow

I manually add comments for posts where I want more detail, using a separator ( / | , \ ) to identify tags.

  • These tags/comment will not be removed by dk.
  ~MD~ | architecture | landscape | blue | yams |

Then I'll let DraftKing automatically comment and tag the rest, strip old comments, and move them to my queue.

$ dk md -c ~MD~
  • It will preserve post comments which already contain the string passed via -c ~MD~, so I don't need to worry about overwriting my special cases.
  • It will also generate tags from the comment. In the above case you would get: #architecture #landscape #blue #yams (the comment in not added as a tag)

And that's it, my queue is loaded with manicured posts!

By default dk will act on your primary blog. To target an secondary blog, specify it using -b <blog name>

Examples

Configured Accounts
$ dk accounts

#> * ---- Accounts ---- *
#>     0. (Default)
#>     1. ugly-test-blog
#>     2. nice-test-blog

The default account is the configuration used when calling dk.
If the default doesn't exists, the first available configuration will be used.

To use an alternate account: $dk accounts -s . A dialog will help you set it as the default.
To delete an account configuration: $dk accounts -d . A dialog will let you choose which one.

Testing Console

The dk console can act as a sandbox while you explore the api or you can use it to actively manage your account.
By default it runs in simulation mode so any changes you make will not affect your account.

$ dk console
irb:> $dk.status
irb:> $dk.strip_old_comments

# Switch to live mode
irb:> $dk.simulate = false

API

By default, API Keys are read from ~/*.dkconfig (See: Setup) or you can pass them at the time of Client creation.

require 'tumblr_draftking'

# Use default configuration file: ~/.dkconfig
dk = DK::Client.new()

# Specify your own configuration file
dk = DK::Client.new(config_file: file_path)

# Define directly
dk = DK::Client.new(keys: { consumer_key:       'your value',
                            consumer_secret:    'your value',
                            oauth_token:        'your value',
                            oauth_token_secret: 'your value' })
