Change Log

update2.0 for download any Post

This version of TumblrCrawler combine video and image including GIF in the same file. What’s more, it can acknowledge whether the main content is video or photo. Current version is only for download post page directly.
The whole blog searching function is undergoing. This searching will be easy, ignoring the JS. My thoughts is using archive page to get all the post pages, then get in every page to download.

Update3.0

This version is final one which add crawler whole blog posts function, which means this crawler can download all the file, including images and video, of one blog once.
This crawler uses threading.Thread Module. Every 10 posts as a page in tumblr as a single thread one time, Multi-thread accelerate whole procession. It needs no cookie can crawler any account. Of course, the more post there are, the longer it will take to crawler all.

update4.0

Find out some blog install personal Theme, which means they use different stylesheet from the default one. So it leads to crawl from home page is unavailable, so I change to search the default page as Archive. All the Archive page is the same stylesheet. But every archive page has 50 post, which means one single thread has to process 50 post url download. Definitely, it slow downs the procession a lot. But it has to be.

PersonalThemeSearch.py Module is for discriminating whether blog use default stylesheet or personal one.

ArchiveSearch.py is the Module for crawling all the post url in Archive page, every page has 50 posts url. Meanwhile, original way to crawl main page gets 10 posts every posts.

This version only figure out that searching all the post in every kind of stylesheet blog. It need to be solved to design a more universal function to crawl personal template post’s content.

What’s more, this version fixes some exception in none post page and a little logical problem about input. There are some spacial cases of url format, like "https://.*?", "http://wanimal1983.org/" (WTF? Redirection? http://wanimal1983.tumblr.com)

update5.0

This may be final version. It fix the problem that can not download content of special stylesheet blogs, and all the problems in last version. It adds the discrimination for homepage or post page, which means that user can download whole blog or specific post.

The main function is working for lots of blogs, like special url or theme. Of course, there may be some freak blogs’ stylesheet that is incompatible. You are welcome to remind me if you have some find. :)

update 5.5 Stable version

Fix the url decoding problem, then there will be no more 'url not found' problem which can be viewed from the browser.

update 6.0

Tumblr update the format of videos' url. So the version before 6.0 may not download the video. I modify the regular expression.

Envirment

Development under Python3.5 with some basic packages, such as requests.

Run

Run the TumblrCrawler.py directly. The input could be the blog's url, such as http://name.tumblr.com/
Or any single post that you like.
