The flickrapi python module .

Flickr is one of the most popular photo hosting websites.
The development team let us test the API and with a plenty of opportunities to use Flickr.
Today I tested the flickrapi python module.
I used the python 2.7 version and pip to install it.
C:\>cd Python27

C:\Python27>cd Scripts

C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install flickrapi
Collecting flickrapi

You need to have/make an API key into Account Settings, see my API key:
Your API keys You have 1 API key registered to this account.
Then you need to know your user_id.
This can be done by asking api online with your username and the result will be something like this: xxxxxxxx@Nxx.
The example I used is from documentation and I change with my API key to test this python module.


>>>import flickrapi
>>>
>>>api_key = u'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
>>>api_secret = u'YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY'
>>>
>>>flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key, api_secret)
>>>photos = flickr.photos.search(user_id='xxxxxxxx@Nxx', per_page='10')
>>>sets = flickr.photosets.getList(user_id='xxxxxxxx@Nxx')
>>> dir(sets)

>>> print "upload a photo via browser - set permisions"

>>> flickr.upload("0001.gif")

>>> print "try show title of my photos and id"
try show title of my photos and id
for child in photos:
  for i in child:
    photo_set = []
    try:
      title = i.attrib['title']
      print title
    except Exception, e:
      print e
    sets = flickr.photos_getAllContexts(photo_id = i.attrib["id"])
    for j in sets:
      if j.tag == "set":
        photo_set.append(j.attrib["id"])
        print photo_set
The result is my photos title and id:
