Saving flickr photos in blogger

Flickr's free accounts have the following limits:

  • Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
  • Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later)
Which we can address through flickr API and blogger API.



Fake code:

  1. for each photo in your flickr account

  2. get URLs of small/medium/large/orgninal size of photo
  3. if cannot get orgninal size photo URL, construct it from the medium URL(insert '_o' before .jpg).
  4. get the taken date of the photo
  5. get tags
  6. post to blogger, display the medium or small size of photo, add links to all other sizes, using the date of taken date.
  7. loop for each.
