Getting Started

Making calls to the API

Your entry point to the Flickr API is the FlickrService class located in the Skybrud.Social.Flickr namespace.

When accessing the Flickr API, there are a few ways for handling authentication:

App context

If you just need to access public information, you can authenticate on behalf of your app, which is identified by a consumer key and a consumer secret:

// Initialize a new instance of "FlickrService"
FlickrService service = FlickrService.CreateFromConsumerKey(
    "The consumer key of your app",
    "The consumer secret of your app"
);
    
// Start making calls to the API

User context

If you need to access on behalf of a specific, you need to obtain an access token and access token secret for that user, and then initialize the FlickrService class like:

// Initialize a new instance of "FlickrService"
FlickrService service = FlickrService.CreateFromAccessToken(
    "The consumer key of your app",
    "The consumer secret of your app",
    "The access token of the user",
    "The access token secret of the user"
);

// Start making calls to the API

You can consult the Authentication page for further information on how to obtain an access token and access token for the user.
