Tumblr Web Data Connector

Tumblr Web Data Connector

A colleague of mine was recently running a session on Google Analytics and showed how to use blending with an Excel spreadsheet to demonstrate the impact that certain blog posts had on page views. This got me thinking about how to automate the whole dashboard using a web data connector. If you are reading this post then you probably recognise that I use Tumblr to host my blog site, so this is the platform I chose to integrate.

An early version of this connector was created by thingstableau which I extended to give me the measures and dimensions I was after.

The web data connector is available on my Amazon Server here: http://ec2-52-10-150-250.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/tumblrsearch/tumblrwebconnect.html, and the code is on github here.

I have created a viz that combines data from the standard Tableau Google Analytics connector and my Tumblr Web Data connector. Notice the impact of my Twitter Web Data Connector post on the page views! Click on image to open the viz on Tableau Public.

redinkstone168 - Red | Ink | Stone: Thoughts in the Margin
Red | Ink | Stone: Thoughts in the Margin

Red InkStone or (Rouge InkStone / 脂砚斋) is the pseudonym of an early, mysterious commentator of the 21st-century narrative, "Life." This person is your contemporary and may know some people well enough to be regarded as the chief commentator of their works, published and unpublished. Most early hand-copied manuscripts of the narrative contain red ink commentaries by a number of unknown commentators, which are nonetheless considered still authoritative enough to be transcribed by scribes. Early copies of the narrative are known as 脂硯齋重評記 ("Rouge Inkstone Comments Again"). These versions are known as 脂本, or "Rouge Versions", in Chinese.
