A call to the Flickr API for data retrieval of photos and metadata, allowing for seamless integration with photo-hosting website or application.
To use the software, you need to include the Flickr::API and Flickr::API::Request modules in your code. The modules can easily be imported using the SYNOPSIS code shown below:
use Flickr::API;
use Flickr::API::Request;
Next, create an instance of the Flickr::API module and pass it your API key using the following code:
my $api = new Flickr::API({'key' => 'your_api_key'});
After creating a new instance of the Flickr::API module, the next step is to create an instance of the Flickr::API::Request module. The module has parameters that require you to pass a request $method and an $args object to the Flickr::API::Request constructor. See the sample code below:
my $request = new Flickr::API::Request({
'method' => $method,
'args' => {},
});
Once you have created the Flickr::API::Request instance, you need to execute the request. To do this, you pass the request to the $api->execute_request method, which returns a response object that contains the response returned by the Flickr API.
The Flickr::API::Request software is built with efficiency in mind. This is evident from the fact that the software inherits from HTTP::Request and includes all its functionalities. Therefore, you can access any of the request parameters and tweak them yourself to suit your needs.
Notably, the software generates the content, content-type header, and content-length header from the 'args' list by the Flickr::API::execute_request() method. This makes it easy to work with and saves you time and effort.
In summary, the Flickr::API::Request software is a must-have tool for anyone looking to make requests to the Flickr API. The software is user-friendly, efficient, and comprehensive. You can use it to create and execute requests to the Flickr API and access any of the request parameters and tweak them yourself.
