I'm working on a project that needs to get information from a Tumblr post. Specifically I'm looking for the posters username, caption, title of the blog, date/time and the URL. I have everything covered except the original posters username, for example I need mclentil
from the post: http://harperhug.tumblr.com/post/138269357957/mclentil-this-just-happened
I've tried using the following:
https://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/harperhug.tumblr.com/posts/photo?id=138269357957&api_key=***
Which gets me everything except for the username, mclentil
, the only place that mentions it completely is in the direct HTML of the caption:
<p><a class=\"tumblr_blog\" href=\"http://mclentil.tumblr.com/post/76303232069\">mclentil</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This just happened..</p>
</blockquote>
I need a way to get that username, for not only this post but other similar posts on Tumblr.
