Tumblr

Backend class

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

social_core.backends.tumblr.TumblrOAuth

Tumblr uses OAuth 1.0a for authentication.

The backend identifies an account by the UUID of its primary blog. The blog name remains available as the local username but is not used for account binding because Tumblr names can change and be reused.

  • Register a new application at http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps

  • Set the Default callback URL to http://[your domain]/

  • fill OAuth Consumer Key and Secret Key values in your Django settings:

    SOCIAL_AUTH_TUMBLR_KEY = ''
SOCIAL_AUTH_TUMBLR_SECRET = ''
