Zend Framework 1.10.9 Manual

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.

$flickr = new Zend_Service_Flickr('MY_API_KEY');

$results = $flickr->tagSearch("php");

foreach ($results as $result) {
    echo $result->title . '
';
}

Note: Optional parameter

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.

$flickr = new Zend_Service_Flickr('MY_API_KEY');

$results = $flickr->userSearch($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:

$flickr = new Zend_Service_Flickr('MY_API_KEY');

    $results = $flickr->groupPoolGetPhotos($groupId);

    foreach ($results as $result) {
        echo $result->title . '
';
    }

Note: Optional parameter

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:

$flickr = new Zend_Service_Flickr('MY_API_KEY');

$image = $flickr->getImageDetails($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
