Yes. Gnip serves that data and you can experiment with collecting it via
the DiscoverText 30-day free trial:

https://app.discovertext.com/Home/SignupContactTrial

We provide 1000 gratis 'credits' where each item and the associated
metadata count together as one spent credit. You can run a 1000-item pilot
test of the Gnip Tumblr stream, or spread your credits across the fire hose
for Twitter, Disqus & WordPress.

This is sample metadata from a Tumblr item using a Power Track operator to
exclude reblogs, but if you don't include the rule, you get all the reblogs
and you can use the "Sifter" engine to deduplicate and cluster around
reblogging inside of DiscoverText.
