Invalid baseUrl

[tianBreznik]

I create the client with only the consumer_key and consumer_secret fields filled out and the tokens left out, as I don't need them and I get the type error "Invalid baseUrl option provided." - I can't seem to find anything about this issue documented anywhere. Could someone point me in the direction of quickly resolving this ?

Will you provide a minimal test example of what you're trying to do? For example:

node -e "new (require('tumblr.js').Client)({consumer_key: 'foo', consumer_secret: 'bar'})"

TypeError: Provide consumer_key or all oauth credentials. Invalid token provided.

As I understand, you should be providing either a consumer_key by itself (some endpoints allow "api_key" authentication, which will be used if there's only a consumer_key provided), or all oauth1 credentials: consumer_key, consumer_secret, token, and token_secret:

node -e "new (require('tumblr.js').Client)({consumer_key: 'foo', consumer_secret: 'bar', token: 'baz', token_secret: 'quux'})"

I'm surprised you're seeing anything about baseUrl if you're not providing that option. Will you provide details about your environment? Node version, etc.

my node version is v14.15.4. I plan to scrape some general posts based on a tag from Tumblr at some point, but for now I'm just trying to set up and connect. I run the same few lines as you quote with consumer key and secret provided, from the browser, and I as such receive the baseUrl error.

When I run the node code from the terminal, I get the following error:
The error is thrown from tumblr.js, is this a dependency issue?

I should also mention, that I am working in ES6, so I am importing the module, not requiring it. Could this somehow cause the baseUrl error?

The library doesn't officially support Node 14. Node 14's end-of-life was 2023-04-30. I'll close this because it seems to be due to an unsupported Node version.

While we don't support Node 14, I will say that 14.15.4 is an old release within the 14 line, the latest being 14.21.3. With 14.21.3 I don't see any issues with the same test code I shared above. If you can't upgrade to a supported Node version, maybe at least getting onto a more recent v14 release would help.

I am importing the module, not requiring it.

That shouldn't be an issue, the integration tests are ES modules and don't have any issues:

tumblr.js/integration/read-only.mjs

Line 2 in 0d66f3c

import { Client } from 'tumblr.js';

Hi! I updated to node 18 and the invalid baseUrl error persists in the browser, whereas when running the code you provided with my consumer key and secret the error becomes that of authentication:
TypeError: Provide consumer_key or all oauth credentials. Invalid token provided.

[sirreal]

It sounds like it's working correctly in Node 18. You'll either need to provide only the consumer_key, or all four of the required oauth credentials (consumer_key, consumer_secret, token, and token_secret). You should be able to get that information from https://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps or https://api.tumblr.com/console/calls/user/info.

As mentioned in the README, this library isn't intended for in-browser use. That's something we could work on, however, if folks are interested. If you are interested, please open a new issue for that and we can consider it and start to understand the demand for that.

Hi! I tried my consumer_key and secret on the api console, and it looks like the credentials are invalid, since I receive a bad request error, but I'm puzzled as to why. Is my application not registered or is has it not been processed?

I think my application clearly is registered, but something else is going on. Could I contact someone from support to check?

That may be a good place to start, you can contact Tumblr support through the help page: https://help.tumblr.com/hc/en-us
