NAME
  tumblr

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
  tumblr.rb is a command line utility and library which interfaces to the
  excellent tumblr blogging platform @ http://www.tumblr.com

  tumblr.rb implements the complete restful api in both library and
  command line utility, doccumented in full @ http://www.tumblr.com/api

  === install ===

    gem install tumblr

  === cli ===

    the cli exactly mirrors the library api.  arguments are passed to each
    method as 'key=val' pairs, values may be read from files using the
    syntax 'key=file=val' or 'key==val'

    you should first cache your login info to avoid having to pass it everytime

      cfp: ~> tumblr setup --email=my_email --password=my_password
--name=drawohara
      /Users/ahoward/.tumblr.yml

    you can post

      cfp: ~> tumblr write regular title=testing body=rock_on

    you can post from files

      cfp: ~> tumblr write regular title=slurp body==./post.html

    you can read

      cfp: ~> tumblr read start=42 num=42

    you can delete a post

        cfp: ~> tumblr delete post-id=42

    you can test the auth

      cfp: ~> tumblr authenticate

    etc.

  === api ===

    it's pretty simple.  here's a start, use the web docs to figure out the
    rest

      config = {
        :email => my_email,
        :password => my_password,
        :name => 'drawohara'
      }

      tumblr = Tumblr.for config

      abort unless tumblr.uri == 'http://drawohara.tumblr.com'

      response = tumblr.write :regular, :title = title, :body => body

      video = open 'video.mpg'
      response = tumblr.write :video, :data => video, :title => video.path

      response = tumblr.read :start => 42, :num => 42
      xml = response.content

      response = tumblr.read :start => 42, :num => 42, :json => true
      json = response.content
