• TUMBLR_KEY - your API key for Tumblr
• TUMBLR_URL - the URL of the Tumblr blog you wish to sync. this does support custom domains!
• COHOST_EMAIL - the email you use to login to Cohost
• COHOST_PASS - your password for Cohost
• [Optional] COHOST_PROJECT - the page you want to post to on Cohost. If not specified, will use your default page
• [Optional] TUMBLR_TAG - the tag required on a post for Hellbug to sync it. Defaults to txt. You can turn off tag filtering by setting this to an empty string export TUMBLR_TAG=""

4. Run python main.py
5. The latest matching tumblr post will be posted to Cohost!

To run this automatically, set this script up in a Cron job. Be wary of Tumblr's API limits of 5000 API calls a day - do not run this script more than once every 5 seconds.

As of now the script will only get the latest post, and will not recurse back.
