Currently only 4 api calls have been implmeneted (all are GET calls). These API's return data in XML format although work is in progress to return the data as JSON and/or as a HTML markup (which can be called from a iframe tag in frontend code) Users (for whome flickr data has to be accesses) can be configured in apache's configuration file. Configuration involves setting the Flickr API key, secret and auth token which can be obtained from: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ Sample API calls: (assuming SetHandler has been set to flickr-handler for Location /flickr) * http://<hostname>/flickr/vshankar/getMyPhotos/<page_no>/<number_of_pics>; eg: http://www.whatsoever.com/flickr/vshankar/getMyPhotos/1/10 * http://<hostname>/flickr/vshankar/getMySets/ * http://<hostname>/flickr/vshankar/getPhotosInSet/<set_no>/<Page_no>/<no_of_pics>; eg: http://www.whatsoever.com/flickr/vshankar/getPhotosInSet/123456/1/20 * http://<hostname>/flickr/vshankar/getRecentPhotos/<page_no>/<no_of_pics>; eg: http://www.whatsoever.com/flickr/vshankar/getRecentPhotos/1/50 Code repository: http://github.com/vshankar/mod_flickr/ Homepage: http://www.vshank.com/code/mod_flickr/ >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Patch attached with submission follows: # This is a shell archive.
