I've built a module to import tumblr posts to drupal.
I am in the process of moving this blog from Tumblr over to Drupal.
Tumblr doesn’t have an export option, although it does have an excellent API, and right now there are no Tumblr Import Modules for Drupal, so I’m building my own.
I’m using the Tumblr API Drupal Module as a starting point, although I’ve made some changes to the api so that it works a bit better. (The Tumblr API doesn’t have an official release, dev, or public at the time of writing)
My first goal is to import regular type posts from Tumblr into Drupal nodes, something I’ve almost achieved. Then I will review the best approach to import quote, photo, link, chat, video, and audio posts as well.
This work could be designed to require the Tumblr API, but because the tumblr module is not officially released, and I’m not really sure of it’s status, I don’t know the best way to proceed. I’ve contacted Roger López (the tumblr api drupal module developer) to see what he’s up to and based on his response, or lack of response I will know how to proceed.
I hope to have a module up for you soon!
UPDATE: 25 October 2009
When I applied for a CVS account with drupal to further developer the idea of a Tumblr Import it got rejected because of my intention of duplicating the Tumblr API. Because the current developer is traveling, I've had no response and cannot actually proceed.
