Flickr API work, day 2

Wednesday, August 22, 2007 by Dave Winer.

Yesterday, thanks to some great advice from Scripting News readers, I am now able to loop over all my photos from a script.  

Then I wrote a glue script for Flickr.photos.getInfo, which returns a very complete table of structured information about the picture. It's a fascinating snapshot of metadata, and something a lot of people should look at, but I don't imagine too many people have, because it's buried under so layers of code. 

So what the heck, I'm here now, so I took a snapshot of the metadata for a picture of Heather Harde that I took at BarCamp last weekend. 

Here's a snapshot of the metadata, at the time I wrote this (the page is not dynamic, so if notes or tags get added, the snapshot won't change.
