Tumblr Dashboard RSS Generator
Yesterday I decided to start playing with the Dashboard API and created a Dashboard RSS Generator with it.
This will
- Take the 50 most recent posts from your Dashboard and put them into an RSS feed.
- The feed can then be plugged into an RSS reader (Google Reader) or an email program (Outlook) to have people’s posts imported.
- Most RSS readers cache the content for you, so if Tumblr is down, you’ll still have some posts to check out.
- Audio and video posts should play in mosts RSS readers.
This was mostly because I was bored, so I don’t know that anyone will be interested in using this or trying it out, but feel free. I’m sure I’ll think of better uses for the API over time.
* note - because of the way Tumblr’s authentication works, I have to save your password to be able to access your dashboard. If you’re worried about storing your password elsewhere, don’t use this.
If you run into a bug or have troubles with it, comment on the post or email me (mcdavis@gmail.com).
