tumblr-crawler is an open source Python-based utility designed to download media content from Tumblr blogs. It provides a script that automatically retrieves photos and videos from specified Tumblr sites and saves them locally for offline access. Users can specify one or multiple blogs to crawl by editing a configuration file or by passing parameters through the command line. Once executed, the script fetches media from the Tumblr API and stores the downloaded files in folders named after each blog. tumblr-crawler avoids re-downloading files that have already been saved, making repeated runs safe and useful for recovering missing media. It also supports optional proxy configuration, which can help when access to Tumblr content requires routing requests through a proxy server. With simple dependencies and straightforward configuration, the project offers a practical way to archive media content from Tumblr blogs.
