Get Flickr Sets

Question

Hi everyone.

Usual stuff, Googled forever, looked on here, no help. Yet.

What I want is to list the sets of photos I have on Flickr. Nice & simple, it would seem. I want the 'title image' (the one used as the thumb for it on Flickr its self), the title and URL. Can't be that hard, can it?

The language of choice is PHP (5.1.6), or JS (jQuery if possible). Both are good.

Answer 1

Using flickr.photos.search method of the API with your user_id does not work ?

For PHP, you have a PEAR-based package here and another library at http://phpflickr.com/. Should be enough to get through it.

EDIT :

For minimal implementation you should use stream_context_create() with HTTP headers, use fopen() with this context and build a XMLRPC request by hand as a text variable that you will send. Answer from the socket will be your data

For the API, use flickr.photosets.getList

CODE EXAMPLE (you need a valid api key for flickr)

<?php
$apiKey = '';
$userID = '';
$url = 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getList&amp;api_key='
    .$apiKey.'&user_id='.$userID.'&format=json';
$options = Array('http' => Array('method' => 'GET'));
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$object = json_decode($response);
