Is there a way to see the exact results of a tumblr poll (actual number, not the percentage?)
I've heard people say something about an API or something, but I'm very technophobic and tried to look up what that meant and couldn't understand it at all.
Could someone explain to a newbie? Doesn't have to be super detailed, just maybe a bit more than "use the API" as I don't even know how to get started with that, and tumblr's guide for their API makes it seem like it's for people who are trying to build an app on top of Tumblr?
(I am reasonably fluent in python (including web scraping with various python packages, but only for things I can read off the html of a page, and "number of votes" doesn't seem to be unless I'm misreading it), and have passing familiarity with javascript, but otherwise know Nothing about web programming)
Never mind I figured out how to do this! (At least one way, though I suspect it's not the best way. I did not use Tumblr's API; still not sure what that's about)
Here's how I did it for anyone else who might have this question (for Chrome and Firefox):
