Tumblr Connector
Intro
The Domo Tumblr connector provides access to real Tumblr data including followers, info, likes, posts and many other Tumblr entities. To learn more about the Tumblr API, visit their page (https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2).
You connect to your Tumblr account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Tumblr connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites
To connect to your Tumblr account and create a DataSet, you must have your Tumblr username and password.
Connecting to Your Tumblr Account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Tumblr Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials Pane
The Domo Tumblr connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Tumblr accounts in Domo) to open the Tumblr OAuth screen where you can enter your Tumblr credentials. Once you have entered valid Tumblr credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Tumblr DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
