Taking the Fall, 2013 - Winter, 2014 CS 193p class via iTunes U.

I have a valid API key. Even Flickr's "API Explorer" is returning "no data".

Link to Flickr's API Explorer for Top Places List: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.places.getTopPlacesList.html

I'm using valid "place_type_ids": 22, 7, 8, 12, 29

The API doesn't throw an error. It returns normally, just without any data: "places": { "total" : 0, ...

Have no idea what I'm doing wrong since the API Explorer is not even returning any data.

Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to offer any help.

  • Looks like you’re not the only one, http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157642329514773/, http://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157642468804825/ – so a bug on Flickr’s end maybe. – CBroe Mar 17 '14 at 14:27

  • Having very same problem right now, taking same course on iTunes U :))) – Serzhas Mar 17 '14 at 20:48
  • @Serzhas, I presume that you're trying to complete Assignment 5 like me. Any ideas regarding a "workaround" to this Flickr "Top Places" API problem so we can complete this assignment? - Lee – Lee Trent Mar 19 '14 at 02:36
  • No, unfortunately... I'm currently at lecture 11, and trying to recreate Shutterbug application by myself. Just decided to use Top Places instead of latest photos. Didn't knew this will be at Assignment 5 :) Hope Flickr will take care of problem for us to be able continue with assignment... – Serzhas Mar 19 '14 at 15:45

It's working already. Seems like was some troubles at Flickr itself.

  • Lee, could you please contact me at serzhasgmailcom. I'd like to discuss some issues I'm having with Shutterbug (assignment 5 of CS183P). Thanks a lot! – Serzhas Mar 23 '14 at 20:13
