Tumblr Keyword Search Scraper - Full Post Data, Media & Engagement

Search Tumblr by any keyword or phrase and get every matching post back in full detail: complete text, every image/video/GIF at its highest available resolution, like/reblog/reply counts, tags, and the full reblog chain, sorted by top or most recent. Runs on the Apify platform with no Tumblr login or API key required, giving you instant API access, scheduling, and dataset export on top of the raw search. Try it directly against Tumblr's search.

Why use this Actor?

• Keyword monitoring - track every new Tumblr post mentioning a brand, product, fandom, or topic.
• Trend & sentiment research - pull a keyword's top or most recent posts with full engagement counts.
• Media collection - grab every image/video URL matching a search term, ready to download at full resolution.
• Competitive/community research - see what's being posted and how it's performing around any term, without needing a Tumblr account.

How to use this Actor

1. Click Try for free (or Start) on this page.
2. Enter a Search query (any keyword or phrase).
3. Choose to sort by Top (most engagement) or Most recent, and set a max result count.
4. Run the Actor and open the Output tab - results are also available via API, and as JSON/CSV/Excel export.

To browse Tumblr's curated Trending/Explore/Staff Picks feeds or specific tags instead of a free-text search, use the companion Tumblr Trending, Explore & Tag Scraper Actor - kept separate since browsing and keyword search are different workflows.

searchQuery	The keyword/phrase this result matched

Pricing

This Actor uses the Apify Pay per result model at $0.35 per 1,000 results (see the Actor's pricing tab for the current rate) - priced below comparable social-media/keyword-search scrapers on Apify Store (typically $1-10 per 1,000 results) since it fetches plain HTML with no browser rendering.

Tips

• Use sortBy: "recent" for monitoring new posts as they appear, and "top" for research on what performs best around a term.
• Results paginate automatically up to maxResults - raise it for a deeper search, lower it for a fast sample.
• Run this Actor on a schedule (Apify's built-in Scheduler) to monitor a keyword continuously.

FAQ, limitations & support

• This Actor only reads pages Tumblr already serves to logged-out visitors - it does not use anyone's account, does not log in, and does not access private/friends-only blogs or password-protected blogs.
• The per-post likeCount/reblogCount/replyCount figures are Tumblr's own published counts. The individual list of who liked or reblogged (Tumblr's "Notes" panel) is only available to a logged-in viewer on Tumblr itself and is out of scope for this Actor; the reblog trail (added commentary from each reblog) is included where Tumblr includes it in the post itself.
• For scraping requests outside what this Actor covers, or a custom integration, use the Issues tab on this Actor's Apify Store page to get in touch.
