Hi i'm on a project and want to use Flickr for my image galery, i'm using the photosets.* method but whenever i make a request i don't get images, i only get info.

Thanks to the comment by @CBroe

I found this in the Flickr API doc.

You can construct the source URL to a photo once you know its ID, server ID, farm ID and secret, as returned by many API methods.

https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
    or
https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}_[mstzb].jpg
    or
https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{o-secret}_o.(jpg|gif|png)

The final result would then look something like this.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/2/1418878_1e92283336_m.jpg
