Tumblr

Hey Everone,

I'm looking to expand my toolbelt. Has anyone had any luck creating a string to effectively scrape tumblr?

Thanks for any pointers )

What are you trying to scrape from Tumblr?

The variety of layouts alone makes this a little bit painful, though "archive" pages all share the same format, regardless of profile layout. There are some other pieces that appear to work similarly regardless, I think.

Are you actually looking to scrape info off tumblr or just look for interesting people/content?

If you're looking for people then take a look at this blog post I wrote a few months ago - it mentions sourcing from Tumblr: http://uksourcers.co.uk/2012/wikipedia-amazon-tumblr-for-sourcing/

Thank you both. I am looking for leads so they don't HAVE to have contact information. I'm just looking to grow the places that I can find people and stretch my skills. I will definitely read your article Thanks for sharing!
