pull-flickr

Consume the flickr API (search at this stage) with pull-streams

Example Usage

Displayed below is a simple example that looks for "water buffalo" in the creative commons collection from flickr.

const pull = require('pull-stream');
const flickr = require('pull-flickr')({ api_key: 'ca43d47b18b91ff639c9628f9cf828cd' });
 
// search for water buffalo and output the results to the console
// NOTE: because this is using a pull.log (which uses a pull.drain) all
// the results will be displayed
pull(
  flickr.search('water buffalo', { is_commons: true }),
  pull.log()
);
 

To convert the item data into image urls, you can use a pull.map through in combination with the flickr.url function:

const pull = require('pull-stream');
const { search, url } = require('pull-flickr')({ api_key: 'ca43d47b18b91ff639c9628f9cf828cd' });
 
pull(
  search('water buffalo', { is_commons: true }),
  pull.map(result => url('small square', result)),
  pull.log()
);
 

Specifying API Options

While I normally prefer options that use mixed case identifiers, this module uses the underscore separated identifiers that are documented in the Flickr Search API. This means that any of the options that are passed through as query string parameters can be used in this module.
