ZendService\Flickr is a simple API for using the Flickr REST Web Service. In order to use the Flickr web services, you must have an API key. To obtain a key and for more information about the Flickr REST Web Service, please visit the Flickr API Documentation.
In the following example, we use the tagSearch() method to search for photos having “php” in the tags.
Simple Flickr Photo Search
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $flickr = new ZendService\Flickr\Flickr('MY_API_KEY');
$results = $flickr->tagSearch("php");
foreach ($results as $result) {
echo $result->title . '<br />';
}
|
Note
Optional parameter
tagSearch() accepts an optional second parameter as an array of options.
ZendService\Flickr\Flickr provides several ways to get information about Flickr users:
Finding a Flickr User’s Public Photos by E-Mail Address
In this example, we have a Flickr user’s e-mail address, and we search for the user’s public photos by using the userSearch() method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $flickr = new ZendService\Flickr('MY_API_KEY');
$results = $flickr->userSearch($userEmail);
foreach ($results as $result) {
echo $result->title . '<br />';
}
|
ZendService\Flickr\Flickr allows to retrieve a group’s pool photos based on the group ID. Use the groupPoolGetPhotos() method:
Retrieving a Group’s Pool Photos by Group ID
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $flickr = new ZendService\Flickr\Flickr('MY_API_KEY');
$results = $flickr->groupPoolGetPhotos($groupId);
foreach ($results as $result) {
echo $result->title . '<br />';
}
|
Note
Optional parameter
groupPoolGetPhotos() accepts an optional second parameter as an array of options.
ZendService\Flickr\Flickr makes it quick and easy to get an image’s details based on a given image ID. Just use the getImageDetails() method, as in the following example:
Retrieving Flickr Image Details
Once you have a Flickr image ID, it is a simple matter to fetch information about the image:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | $flickr = new ZendService\Flickr\Flickr('MY_API_KEY');
$image = $flickr->getImageDetails($imageId);
echo "Image ID $imageId is $image->width x $image->height pixels.<br />\n";
echo "<a href=\"$image->clickUri\">Click for Image</a>\n";
|
The following classes are all returned by tagSearch() and userSearch():
