Description Venky Shankar 2009-08-29 08:00:08 UTC 
New port: www/mod_flickr

mod_flickr is a apache module (for apache 2.0 and above) that makes call to
flickr via flickr API's to get a users (configured in httpd.conf) public photo
sets, photos in sets and recent photos uploaded in flickr etc...

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

  Currently only 4 api calls have been implmeneted (all are GET calls). These
  API's return data in XML format. The XML can then be parsed by the calling code
  (e.g. front end Javascript/php) to display thumbnails of the images say in a
  scrollbar. (Code for front end is not distributed as yet)
  
  This module can be used by web developers who want to show their photos/albums
  uploaded in flickr on their website and/or access to metadata of their photos
  for their own needs/purposes.
