Python functions for searching and downloading images/links from Flickr.
Use the flickr.photos.search API to search image (using tags/text):
https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.photos.search
Tested only on python 2.7
Not all the possible search arguments are implemented (for example place, geolocalization, and others).
This program lets you download tons of images from Flickr.
