Zend_Service_Flickr is a simple API for using the Flickr REST Web Service. In order to use the Flickr web services, you must have an API key. To obtain a key and for more information about the Flickr REST Web Service, please visit the Flickr API Documentation. In the following example, we use the tagSearch() method to search for photos having "php" in the tags. tagSearch("php"); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result->title . '
'; } ]]> tagSearch() accepts an optional second parameter as an array of options. Zend_Service_Flickr provides several ways to get information about Flickr users: userSearch(): Accepts a string query of space-delimited tags and an optional second parameter as an array of search options, and returns a set of photos as a Zend_Service_Flickr_ResultSet object. getIdByUsername(): Returns a string user ID associated with the given username string. getIdByEmail(): Returns a string user ID associated with the given email address string. In this example, we have a Flickr user's e-mail address, and we search for the user's public photos by using the userSearch() method: userSearch($userEmail); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result->title . '
'; } ]]> Zend_Service_Flickr allows to retrieve a group's pool photos based on the group ID. Use the groupPoolGetPhotos() method: groupPoolGetPhotos($groupId); foreach ($results as $result) { echo $result->title . '
'; } ]]> groupPoolGetPhotos() accepts an optional second parameter as an array of options. Zend_Service_Flickr makes it quick and easy to get an image's details based on a given image ID. Just use the getImageDetails() method, as in the following example: Once you have a Flickr image ID, it is a simple matter to fetch information about the image: getImageDetails($imageId); echo "Image ID $imageId is $image->width x $image->height pixels.
\n"; echo "clickUri\">Click for Image\n"; ]]> The following classes are all returned by tagSearch() and userSearch(): Zend_Service_Flickr_ResultSet Zend_Service_Flickr_Result Zend_Service_Flickr_Image Represents a set of Results from a Flickr search. Implements the SeekableIterator interface for easy iteration (e.g., using foreach()), as well as direct access to a specific result using seek().
