Tumblr Data Cloud Scraper 🚀

A high-performance, professional-grade scraper designed to extract comprehensive data from any public Tumblr blog. Get full-resolution images, complete post descriptions, tags, and reblog metadata without the limitations of the official API.

🌟 Key Features

• Full Data Extraction: Scrapes post IDs, permanent URLs, and Unix/ISO timestamps.
• Deep Content Parsing: Unlike standard scrapers, this tool reconstructs full post descriptions by merging all text blocks, ensuring no data is lost in "summary" truncations.
• High-Resolution Media: Automatically identifies and extracts the highest quality versions of images (HD, 1280p, 2048p).
• Comprehensive Metadata: Captures all hashtags (tags) and note counts for engagement analysis.
• Reblog Mapping: Tracks the lineage of posts, including original blog sources and root post IDs.
• SEO & Search Optimized: Designed to gather clean data perfect for training AI models, archiving, or market research.

📊 How It Works

This scraper operates in a two-stage process to ensure 100% data accuracy:

1. Discovery Phase: Scans the blog feed to identify all post entries.
2. Deep Scan Phase: Visits each individual post page to retrieve hidden metadata like full tags and complete descriptions that are often missing from the main feed.
