When I attempt to authenticate my personal app-under-development or using the Flickr.NET code I am getting 'invalid frob' when I use the frob I have just...
As a (temporary?) workaround for getting access to the comments on a photo I was considering screen scraping the page that shows the photo and its comments....

... "Screen scraping" infers that you have something acting as a web browser that will gather and parse the HTML. If your "something" passes back all the...
I *strongly* encourage people not to scrape Flickr. We open APIs are quick as we can (often before similar functionality is available on the site). Patience :)...
Thanks for the link to Yahoo - I was only searching my gmail messages since I joined a few weeks back... I updated my C# code to loop (with a delay) on...
I updated my C# code to loop (with a delay) on 'invalid frob'. After hundreds of loops (getting a new frob each time) it is still not working. I thought...
... You'll want to retry with the same frob. Either that or you'll need to reauthorize your application after fetching each new frob. You *are* authorizing...
(2 responses below) ... Thanks - this is probably my fault - don't spend any cycles on it right now. I'll send email in a few hours if I'm still having a...
Hi All, Okay i suspect that its my code, but I have noticed that when i try and get a list of apersons public photos and then the tag list for each of those...
so any issues regarding who owns the comments? or whether or not said users want their comments "scraped" (or non scraped even, via an API) for publishing on...

Between the AuthGetGrob line, and the AuthGetToken line you need to actually authentication your application, by sending the user to the web site. Only then...
Thanks - I've got it working. I'm revisiting code I wrote a week+ ago and should have looked closer. I was getting the same error message from the server, but...
... Hm. That's interesting. It sounds like it unpacked the gzipped archive but didn't unpack the tar archive. I'll put up a zip version too on RubyForge....
I'm suddenly getting reports from my 1001 users that they're seeing an "Invalid signature" message. I'm seeing it, too. Any of my API calls are suddenly...
All -- I am curious if anybody has interest in, or if it has been discussed, about being able to call the API methods that have the user NSID as a parameter,...
I found the issue: For reasons unclear to me Flickr has changed my secret key. This means I now have to release a new version of 1001 just to get the new...
The url format you quote doesn't work for all photos on Flickr. Observe http://www.flickr.com/photos/35034351666@N01/page2/ and go down to the "Ghandi...

I'd like to display a random photo with the tag "Fire" on a web page so that it will be a different interesting fire-related photo on every hit. Is there an...
Yeah - its invalid XML (even Firefox barfs when trying to display it) - I reckon this needs Flickr developer changes to remedy. Eric? Stewart? Anyone? Sam...
... This actually came up recently. Here's how the list worked it out. Do a search for that tag with flickr.photos.search but set "per_page" at "1". Then, find...
I'd like to do something like: flickr.tags.getContext from a single userID. But flickr.tags.getContext doesn't exist. Is there a combination of APIs to get me...
