Get Tumblr Tokens without having to go to a website?

Question

I'm using PyTumblr. I have the Consumer Key & Consumer Secret and I'm trying to requests the Access token and the Token Secret

In the pytumblr github page they say:

Two easy ways to get your credentials to are:

1. The built-in interactive_console.py tool (if you already have a consumer key & secret)
2. The Tumblr API console at https://api.tumblr.com/console

Oh nice, but the interactive_console.py waits for user interaction. Basically It sends you to a web page to autorize the Tumblr APP you want to access.

As you can see here: https://github.com/tumblr/pytumblr/blob/master/interactive_console.py

They say:

# Redirect to authentication page
print '\nPlease go here and authorize:\n%s?oauth_token=%s' % (authorize_url, request_token['oauth_token'][0])
redirect_response = raw_input('Allow then paste the full redirect URL here:\n')

And the second way directly is to access a website.

My question is: Is there any way to get the tokens without interacting with a website (just programmatically) to autorize it, then get the tokens ?

Thank you !

No. Tumblr uses oauth, which requires the creation of per-session keys to interact with the service.
