OKAY! I promise, this is the last flickr related post (Flickr Video Plugin, Flickr Gallery Plugin. I really should just write an all out complete flickr plugin for all your photo, video and gallery needs o_O. Maybe. One day. For now, I’ve delved back in and created the last “Get Flickr X from URL”. And, X happens to be “Photos”.

Note: You will need an flickr API key and secret to use this plugin. You can get an API key by logging into your Yahoo/flickr account and heading here: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/. More information on the flickr API can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/services/api/

Optional Settings

• url (string Default: '')
  Is the flickr url of the video you’d like to display
• key (string Default: '')
  The API key , provided by flickr, to use with the API
• secret (string Default: '')
  The API secret, provided by flickr, to use with the API
