I wanted to download a picture from the Flickr using the flicker API. I am using OAuth for authentication.
When I searched on the site, I got an API called flickr.photos.getInfo. But it only gives the path to the page where the picture belongs.
Can anyone tell me where I can get an API to get the actual path to an image?
You can get the urls by requesting them in the extras fields in the appropriate get methods, listed as part of the documentation for each getter method.
For a sample search, use this form http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.photos.getRecent with the extras field set to:
url_sq, url_t, url_s, url_q, url_m, url_n, url_z, url_c, url_l, url_o
PS. I would include the direct links but am currently limited to one link per post.
Use the flickr.photos.getSizes API. When you call the method, you will get the link of that picture ( avaible with different sizes)
Use that link to download.
