Tumblr API
Thinking of implementing a better way of using my Journal with Tumblr by using their API. Right now I am using the RSS feed created by Tumblr, parsing it and putting it in my DB and it is updated about once a day. Although I am using this approach as I want to, still I have links to the original Tumblr-created page which is not optimal and does not look as I want to. I now have an idea how I want it to work:
I will use the excellent API of Tumblr with a C++ program that runs every other hour or so, then filling my database with posts and showing them in my Journal. If I use the posts this way it will be a little bit better then the RSS caching approach I use now. Later I also might create a nice archive feature..
Unfortunately Tumblr does not support SSL/TLS encryption at sign on or API requests which causes some security concerns. If you are on Get Satisfaction, please push this question further so Tumblr can provide secure sign on.
Sorry for the bad image quality.
