program downloads all the pictures and their metadata from Flickr in anticipation of the removal of their free service
- https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/? create an app in their "app garden"
- Get an API key/shared secret combination from your FlickrAccount.
- Follow the steps.
- Make sure your drive has sufficient space to download your pictures - only saying that because I have 220Gb worth of pictures to "disembark" from Flickr into Google photos...
*These probram is a bunch of scripts (main, main1, etc) that helped me organize my giant download of pics and metadata (including tags) from Flickr. The workflow was something like the following: I downloaded the picture numbers first, get their useless metadata that contained the original picture secret, get the original pictures, get their tags.
The code is totally NOT going to work for you until you understand it and modify it with your own keys and counts email me if you are not a coder and you need help
*** I am not planning to use their services ever again therefore there is no incentive for me to make this program functional for myself or others, I downloaded all my data already let them burn :)
