Backup your Tumblr's liked photo posts

=====================================

I love using Tumblr to collect images for inspiration using the like 

feature. I created this simple PHP code to download my liked images while

saving all the metadata information. It will aditionally create an index.html

file for you to quickly view your images locally without connecting to 

the internet.

Install

-------

To be able to use this scripts you need PHP and the Imagemagick library (you don't

the PHP bindings since I use system() to execute the utilities). I haven't tried

this on anything other than Ubuntu Linux. To install Imagemagick just do:

       $ sudo apt-get install imagemagick

You also need to get your OAUTH API key. This is looks complicated but its quite simple. 

Go here: http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/register and complete the fields. Since we are not

going to log in most of the fields you can put random junk.

To create your backup:

 1. Edit backup\_liked.php and change your blogs URL and your API key.

 2. Call the script with: php backup\_liked.php

This will retrieve your posts in the directory blogs/. At the end it will store an index.html

file and a posts.json file with all the metadata of your posts. You can use your browser

to view the index.html and your images. If you have a lot of images this can consume a lot

of memory since you are basically opening all of them :-). I will probably have to

do something about this ... for now it works.
