Tools built with Phlickr

These are some tools I've written with Phlickr:

  • FavoriteDesktop downloads a random photo from your favorites list, converts it to a Windows bitmap (using ImageMagick's convert tool) and then sets it as your desktop background image.
  • PhlickrUploader is my personal script for uploading a directory full of photos, assigning tags and putting them into photosets.
  • GetToken will help you retrieve an authorization token for a given API key/secret.

Revised GetToken Script

Andrew, I hope you don't mind, but I decided to post a revised GetToken script on my blog located here:

I have you credited all over the post and in the file.

Also, I did this mainly because the 'frob' in your GetToken script remains invalid no matter what I do. The only way I fixed it to run your script was to remove my API key's callback url. But removing this then rendered my token's permissions invalid and I can't do what I want to do with the API.

Checking and checking I found out the 'frob' returned to a callback url is different than that of the original that requested authorization, so I added another step to the script to simply enter the new 'frob'.

Then I continued to do some more things mostly in the explanation, and setting include_path stuff.

Hope it's okay, and that you check it out.

Thanks again for Phlickr, I'm having a lot of fun with it.
