DESCRIPTION¶

A simple interface for using the Flickr API. "Flickr::API" is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, so all of the various proxy, request limits, caching, etc are available.

METHODS¶

"execute_method($method, $args)"

Constructs a "Flickr::API::Request" object and executes it, returning a "Flickr::API::Response" object.

"execute_request($request)"

Executes a "Flickr::API::Request" object, returning a "Flickr::API::Response" object. Calls are signed if a secret was specified when creating the "Flickr::API" object.

"request_auth_url($perms,$frob)"

Returns a "URI" object representing the URL that an application must redirect a user to for approving an authentication token.

 

For web-based applications $frob is an optional parameter.
