This gallery module is designed to make requests to the Flickr API as simple as possible. This module is in use on the Flickr Photo page.

This is a simple example of getting an array of photos from the 'flickr.panda.getPhotos' api method.

For more information on this method visit:
http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.panda.getPhotos.html

We will need to provide the "callMethod" function with the following arguments for this example:

api_key*: (Required) Your API application key. One can be obtained through the Flickr App Garden

panda_name*: (Required) The name of the panda to ask for photos from. We will be using "ling ling"

extras*: (Optional) A comma-delimited list of extra information to fetch for each returned record. We will be using "license, date_taken, and owner_name"

per_page* (Optional) Number of photos to return per page. We will request 50 results.

page* (Optional) The page of results to return. We will request page 1

Code Sample

<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.3.0/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>

YUI({
    //Last Gallery Build of this module
    gallery: 'gallery-2011.02.16-20-31'
}).use('gallery-flickr-api', function(Y) {
 
  Y.flickrAPI.callMethod('flickr.panda.getPhotos',
    {
      api_key: 'your_api_key',
      panda_name: 'ling ling',
      extras: 'license, date_taken, owner_name',
      per_page: 50,
      page:1,
    },
    {
      success : function(response_object) {
        //Success Code
      },
      failure : function(response_object) {
        //Failure Code
      }
    });
 
});
