Can I retrieve more than 20 post title names on Tumblr? (via JSON)

Question

I made a script to retrieve the strings of all the post titles of one of my blogs. The problem is that i can't retrieve more than 20 title. Theoritically, http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v1 says: "The most recent 20 posts are included by default. You may pass these optional GET parameters: .... num - The number of posts to return. The default is 20, and the maximum is 50. ..... " so should i be able to get the maximum 50? My GET code looks like this: ``` $.ajax({ url: "http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/var-lak.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=(my-api-key)text?limit=50&format=text", dataType: 'jsonp', success: function(results){ //..... ``` Thanks in advance, Attila

Accepted Answer

According to the documentation, you are passing wrong URL there. GET parameters mentioned in the documentation are separated by & sign in the address, so in:

```
http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/var-lak.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=(my-api-key)text?limit=50&format=text
```

You are passing to the server following GET variables:

```
api_key = (my-api-key)text?limit=50
format = text
```

By the docs to v2 API, you have to pass limit variable, so you should provide:

```
api_key = (my-api-key)
limit = 50
format = text
```

That means the URL should look like:

```
http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/var-lak.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=(my-api-key)&limit=50&format=text
```

This should work.
