Download photos from Flickr
Project description
Flickr Download
Introduction
Simple script to download a Flickr set.
To use it you need to get your own Flickr API key here: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -d <set id>
It can also list the public set ids for a given user:
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -l <user name>
Get a public set using the title and id to name the downloaded files:
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -d <set id> -n title_and_id
Download private or restricted photos by authorizing against the users account. (see below)
Installation
To install this script use the Python pip utility bundled with your Python distribution:
pip install flickr_download
API key
Get your Flickr API key.
You can also set your API key and secret in ~/.flickr_download
:
api_key: my_key
api_secret: my_secret
User Authentication Support
The script also allows you to authenticate as a user account. That way you can download sets that
are private and public photos that are restricted. To use this mode, initialize the authorization by
running the script with the t
parameter to authorize the app.
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -t
This will save .flickr_token
containing the authorization. Subsequent calls with -t
will use the
stored token. For example using
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -l <USER>
with USER set to your own username, will only fetch your publicly available sets, whereas adding -t
flickr_download -k <api key> -s <api secret> -l <USER> -t
will fetch all your sets including private restricted sets.
