ThreadsTagTumblr Tag API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
How much does the Tumblr Tag API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send tag. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a Tumblr login?
No. It reads public Tumblr data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds tumblr.tag.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
Your first Tumblr call is free.
Up to 100 free credits to start, no card needed.
