Tumblr: common questions

Is Tumblr free to use?

Yes — Tumblr is a free social & work API. Free tier: OAuth — some read routes may be public. Whether the free tier allows commercial use is unclear — check the provider docs.

Does Tumblr need an API key?

Yes — Tumblr authenticates with OAuth. See the provider docs for scopes and token setup; rate limits: Unpublished.

Can I call Tumblr from the browser?

Yes — Tumblr returns CORS headers over HTTPS, so front-end code can fetch it directly with no backend proxy. Use the fetch snippet on this page, or hit "Run live" to try it now.

Is Tumblr up right now?

Tumblr is catalogued but not yet on our probe schedule, so we don't publish a live status for it. Check the provider's own status page or docs for its current state.
