[java client jumblr] how to get customer key and secret key?

[Pasquale Franzese]

Hi, I'm new to the environment and I'm struggling with the very basics of tumblr's java client.
In the example operations that I'm still trying to perform is requested to use a "customer key" and a "customer secret key", both distinct from oAuth keys.
The example code is:

// Create a new client
JumblrClient client = new JumblrClient("consumer_key", "consumer_secret");
client.setToken("oauth_token", "oauth_token_secret");

// Write the user's name
User user = client.user();
System.out.println(user.getName());

// And list their blogs
for (Blog blog : user.getBlogs()) {
    System.out.println("\t" + blog.getTitle());
}

// Like the most recent "lol" tag
client.tagged("lol").get(0).like();

How do I get the ("consumer_key", "consumer_secret") to correctly initialize the client? 
Thanks!

You can get the consumer key & secret for your application at http://www.tumblr.com/oauth/apps

Or register a new app if one doesn't exist

Did that already, there I can get only oAuth keys... I need the way to get the other two keys... I already tried using the oauth keys instead but it gives me an error at runtime and the app crashes at System.out.println(user.getName());
the error is:

Actually those _are_ your consumer key & secret (i promise).

To get the other two keys, you'll need to go through a full OAuth workflow as your own user.

To make it a little easier..

We have a utility built into the Ruby client to generate these, you can do something like:

```

$ gem install ruby

$ tumblr # follow oauth flow as prompted

$ cat ~/.tumblr

```

Hope this helps!

Thank you a lot for your reply, sadly I don't understand what to do exactly (never worked with ruby...).
I tried to install rubygems, but on first command i get:

$ gem install ruby

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'ruby' (>= 0) in any repository

ERROR:  Possible alternatives: ruby

also, the second one would require tumblr's ruby client, right?

Thank you again, you are really saving me ^^

[John Crepezzi]

haha woops - `gem install tumblr_client` (hits self in head)

[Pasquale Franzese]

Update:
I managed to install the client, dumb of me not to think the solution immediately:
$  sudo gem install tumblr_client
Now following the rest

Thank you again!!!

[Pasquale Franzese]

XD Didn't read this on time, thank you again!!!

[Pasquale Franzese]

I solved that problem, thank you a lot!

To the benefit of whoever comes after:
i first installed rubygem with

$ sudo apt-get install rubygems

then installed tumblr client

$ gem install tumblr_client

 and used it

$ tumblr

it asked me to give oAuth keys (secret and normal) and answered with a link containing a public token, I pasted it in a browser and got an auth request, clicked on ok, then got a redirect to my callback url with the token public & secret keys as params.

Thank you again, I'll open a new discussion topic with my new problems tomorrow (I still get the same errors in the program ): but now i know the codes are not responsible)

[John Crepezzi]

Sounds good - glad you got your keys successfully!

[Pasquale Franzese]

ERRATA CORRIGE:
the callback url has the oauth_verifier value that the program asks to complete the operation, after you paste it  in the terminal the keys will be in the .tumblr file on the home folder (where I installed everything) not in the callback url

Yes, I really owe you a favor!
