Flickr

Inkstead Writer can syndicate photo notes to Flickr.

Required environment variables:

FLICKR_API_KEY
FLICKR_API_SECRET
FLICKR_ACCESS_TOKEN
FLICKR_ACCESS_SECRET

Get The Keys And Tokens

Flickr needs the most setup of the supported services, but it is a one-time job.

First, create an API key at the Flickr App Garden. A non-commercial key is fine for a personal site. That gives you FLICKR_API_KEY and FLICKR_API_SECRET.

Then authorise your own account once using Flickr's OAuth flow to obtain FLICKR_ACCESS_TOKEN and FLICKR_ACCESS_SECRET. Flickr's authentication documentation describes the flow, and most OAuth 1.0a helper tools can complete it with your API key and secret. Ask for write permission. Flickr access tokens do not expire, so you only do this once.

What Gets Posted

Flickr receives the first photo from a photo note and uses the note text as the description.

Add flickr to a photo note when you want that note to upload to Flickr:
