This is a fork of callmeal/Flickr4Java. I do not maintain this project. Any concerns should be directed to the upstream project.

The upstream project's README is reproduced below.

Note: This API has been forked from FlickrJ at Sourceforge.

This is a Java API which wraps the REST-based Flickr API.

Comments and questions should be sent to the GitHub Repo.

To use the API just construct an instance of the class com.flickr4java.flickr.test.Flickr and request the interfaces which you need to work with.
For example, to send a test ping to the Flickr service:

String apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
Flickr f = new Flickr(apiKey);
TestInterface testInterface = f.getTestInterface();
Collection results = testInterface.echo(Collections.EMPTY_LIST);

Please note: this library is not thread safe.

This API has been tested with JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5. The default distribution is built with JDK 1.5 (it builds and runs fine under 1.6 and 1.7 too though).

An API key is required to use this API. You can request one on Flickr.

scribe-java (v.1.3.2) is also required for the OAuth functionality.
