Question: Tumblr download offset?

[indrakaw]

Is it possible to download certain range of year on Tumblr? I want the years before 2010 and pass, not the latest ones.

One way to accomplish that is explained in the second paragraph here: #292 (comment), but this is rather inefficient, especially when you want to go back to 2010.

There are date-min/-max options for Reddit, which allow to filter by date, and with 8d1ae9b they are now also available for Tumblr and are more efficient than using --filter ( tumblr.date-min/-max ).

To get all posts from 2010 and before, you can now do

gallery-dl -o date-max=2011-01-01T00:00:00 <Tumblr URL>

(It might take a while until Tumblr serves the first batch of post data when jumping back in time, I've noticed while testing. You might even need to increase the read timeout for HTTP requests.)

I think that way faster than waiting for most downloaded file. Thanks for the explanation.

Edit:
When it would available for download?
