either "api_key" for the Flickr auth or "consumer_key" for OAuth

Your API key (one or the other form is required)

either "api_secret" for the Flickr auth or "consumer_secret" for OAuth

Your API key's secret (the one matching the api_key/consumer_key is required)

"rest_uri" & "auth_uri"

Override the URIs used for contacting the API.

"lwpobj"

Base the "Flickr::API" on this object, instead of creating a new instance of LWP::UserAgent. This is useful for using the features of e.g. LWP::UserAgent::Cached.

"unicode"

This flag controls whether Flickr::API expects you to pass UTF-8 bytes (unicode=0, the default) or actual unicode strings (unicode=1) in the request.

"nonce", "timestamp", "request_method", "signature_method", "request_url"

These values are used by Net::OAuth to assemble and sign OAuth consumer request Flickr API calls. The defaults are usually fine.

"callback"

The callback is used in oauth authentication. When Flickr authorizes you, it returns the access token and access token secret in a callback URL. This defaults to https://127.0.0.1/

"token" and "token_secret"

These values are used by Net::OAuth to assemble and sign OAuth protected resource request Flickr API calls.

oauth message type: one of "Consumer", "Protected Resource", "Request Token", "Authorize User" or "Access Token"

This is one of the the message type that Net::OAuth handles. Message type is optional.

oauth parameter set: "message" or "API" or undef.

Net::OAuth will return message params, api params or all params depending on what is requested. All params is the default.

If the Flickr::API object identifies as Flickr original authentication, return a hashref

  $VAR1 = {
            'frob' => '12332112332112300-feedabcde123456c-1234567',
            'api_key' => 'cafefeedbeef13579246801234567890',
            'api_secret' => 'beef321432154321',
            'token' => '97531086421234567-cafe123456789abc'
          };

or the subset thereof depending on what has been used by the API. If the older form of key/secret was used, the constructor will change these to the api_key/api_secret forms.

If the API object identifies as OAuth authentication, and "message type" is specified, then export_config will return a hash of the OAuth parameters for the specified Net::OAuth message type. Further, if parameter is specified, then export_config returns either either the set of message parameters or api parameters for the message type. If parameter is not specified then both parameter type are returned. For example:

  my %config = $api->export_config('protected resource');

or

  my %config = $api->export_config('protected resource','message');

When export_config is called without arguments, then it returns the OAuth portion of the Flickr::API object. If present the Net::OAuth Request Token and Access Token objects are also included.
