I am trying to post messages automatically to my Tumblr Blog (which will run daily via Cron)
I am using the Official Tumblr PHP library here: https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr.php
And using the Authentication method detailed here : https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr.php/wiki/Authentication (or parts of this, as I don't need user input!)
I have the below code
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');
// some variables that will be pretttty useful
$consumerKey = 'MY-CONSUMER-KEY';
$consumerSecret = 'MY-CONSUMER-SECRET';
$client = new Tumblr\API\Client($consumerKey, $consumerSecret);
$requestHandler = $client->getRequestHandler();
$blogName = 'MY-BLOG-NAME';
$requestHandler->setBaseUrl('https://www.tumblr.com/');
// start the old gal up
$resp = $requestHandler->request('POST', 'oauth/request_token', array());
// get the oauth_token
$out = $result = $resp->body;
$data = array();
parse_str($out, $data);
// set the token
$client->setToken($data['oauth_token'], $data['oauth_token_secret']);
// change the baseURL so that we can use the desired Methods
$client->getRequestHandler()->setBaseUrl('http://api.tumblr.com');
// build the $postData into an array
$postData = array('title' => 'test title', 'body' => 'test body');
// call the creatPost function to post the $postData
$client->createPost($blogName, $postData);
However, this gives me the following error:
Fatal error: Uncaught Tumblr\API\RequestException: [401]: Not Authorized thrown in /home///*/vendor/tumblr/tumblr/lib/Tumblr/API/Client.php on line 426
I can retrieve blog posts and other data fine with (example):
echo '<pre>';
print_r( $client->getBlogPosts($blogName, $options = null) );
echo '</pre>';
So it seems it is just making a post that I cant manage.
In all honesty, I don't really understand the OAuth Authentication, so am using code that more worthy coders have kindly provided free :-) I assume I am OK to have edited out parts of the https://github.com/tumblr/tumblr.php/wiki/Authentication as I don't need user input as this is just going to be code ran directly from my server (via Cron)
I have spent days looking around the internet for some answers (have gotten a little further), but am totally stuck on this one...
Any advice is much appreciated!
