Flashr 0.3 released

Posted Sep 14, 19:34 in Flickr

Update

For the latest up to date information about Flashr please check out the new Flashr microsite

I have just uploaded a new version of Flashr to the site. Quite a few changes in this version – here are the details: – Added flickr.photosets.* methods
– Added flickr.groups.pools.* methods
– Cleaned up the code a little so that it compiles with MTASC

And other fixes / improvements which these changes involved (see the full changelog).

I’ve updated the Flashr demo to include support for the new methods. I also added a standalone downloadable version of the demo which uses my SOS wrapper for output. This has a number of advantages. Firstly it is quick (which matters when you are returning lists of hundreds of photos). Secondly you can copy and paste from it (so if you get a list of a user’s photos you can then copy a photo id and use it to call another method in the demo). The zip contains a config.xml file that you can edit to control where it looks for the SOS server.

As well as all of that I also released some example sourcecode which shows how to use Flashr.

And I’ve been working on a little app of my own that uses Flashr – got to get it polished up and then I’ll release it here :)

  4. Hi,

    Have you authenticated with flickr.com? The photosGetNotInSet method requires authentication because it returns a list of photos for the calling user…

    The process of authentication isn’t too clear – I’m planning to put together an example at some point soon but check the auth* methods documentation for now,

    Hope this helps,

    Kelvin :)

  5. do you mean we cannot do the photoset.getNotinSet automatically ?
    except by a shared object ?

  6. Not sure what you mean about a shared object… I mean that you have to authenticate against flickr.com using the auth methods because flickr.photos.getNotInSet requires authentication. You can see this with the Flickr Api Explorer – if you do not tick the “Sign call as…” box then you do not get a valid result…

    The Flashr mailing list just launched today – I would suggest signing up there to ask more questions on this…
