Tumblr OAuth2#

You will need to create a Tumblr app and configure the Tumblr provider for your Django application via the admin interface.

App registration#

To register an app on Tumblr you will need a Tumblr account. With an account, you can create a new app via:

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

In the app creation form fill in the development callback URL:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/tumblr_oauth2/login/callback/

For production use a callback URL such as:

https://{{yourdomain}}.com/accounts/tumblr_oauth2/login/callback/

App database configuration through admin#

The second part of setting up the Tumblr provider requires you to configure your Django application. Configuration is done by creating a SocialApp object in the admin. Add a social app on the admin page:

/admin/socialaccount/socialapp/

Use the tumblr keys tab of your application to fill in the form. It’s located:

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

The configuration is as follows:

Provider, “Tumblr”
Name, your pick, suggest “Tumblr”
Client id, is called “OAuth2.0 Client ID” on Tumblr
Secret key, is called “OAuth2.0 Client Secret” on Tumblr
Key, is not needed, leave blank

You can also set up the provider in settings.py:

SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
    "tumblr": {
        "SCOPE": ["basic", "write"],
        "APP": {
            "client_id": os.environ.get("TUMBLR_CLIENT_ID", ""),
            "secret": os.environ.get("TUMBLR_CLIENT_SECRET", ""),
            "key": "",
        },
    },
}
