Is it possible use Tumplr API to POST to non-default user blog?

I reviewed the API here http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api#api_write

I did not see any way to post to non-default blog? I mean, if a user has more than one blog on Tumblr, is it possible to select which blog to send a post to using the write api? I am using OAuth based calls to API.

To get a user's account information, you need to send a POST request to call http://www.tumblr.com/api/authenticate first. If you have already authenticated using OAuth, you don't need to send email and password as parameters, but you still need to call this method to get a list of blogs the user has.

When you send a POST request to call http://www.tumblr.com/api/write, you need to send an additional parameter called 'group' to post to a non-default log. The value of group parameter should be:

  • 'blogname.tumblr.com' if it's a public blog
  • private-id if it's a private blog
