A tumblr scraper, designed to download all the images from the blogs that you want.

This downloader is currently mostly inactive in development. It hasn't been maintained much since it was made a long time ago, and as a result, some errors may come about.

Some common problems include being unable to use it in the EU due to Tumblr's GDPR implementation, and crashing when getting GfyCat links.

If you want a downloader to back stuff up, I'd currently recommend TumblThree for Windows, or tumblr-utils for Mac/Linux.

• Photo, video, and audio downloading
• Iterative downloading -- If you download from a blog, the run it again, only the missing downloadables can be downloaded the second time.
• Complete downloading -- Will scan the entire blog for downloadables, not just the first X pages.
• Rate limiting
• Concurrency -- download from multiple blogs at the same time
• GfyCat support -- download linked WebM and MP4 files from GfyCat

Latest releases can be found here for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Make a text file called download.txt with each tumblr blog you want to download on a separate line:

nature-pics
sunsets
chickenpictures

Run tumblr-downloader once it's complete. It'll download all the pictures from the blog and save it in a downloads/<username> folder for each user.

You can also download a single tag for a blog, if you only want specific content. For example, you can have the following:

nature-pics forests
sunsets
chickenpictures funny faces

If your tag has spaces in it, just type the tag normally after the blog name. For instance, in the above example, chickenpictures will download anything tagged with funny faces. (Note that it will NOT download funny and faces separately like this.)

• -f - Force check -- the downloader will recheck old tumblr posts to see if it missed anything.
• -ignore-audio, -ignore-videos, -ignore-photos - Skips downloading the respective types of files.
• -p - Enable progress bar to track progress instead of printing files being downloaded.
