I am using a bespoke JQuery/PHP script which parses a Flickr feed using SimpliePie and outputs an image gallery.
I have instructed my client to upload there images into their flickr account.
The images are showing but the feed seems to be limiting to 20 images, however, there are 40 images in the stream.
I have checked the API and there doesn't seem to be any paramaters to change this.
Has anyone come across this before, can anyone help me tweak the feed so that it pulls all the images in the photostream?
Here is the Flickr Stream and feed...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/44280289#N04/
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?id=44280289#N04&lang=en-us&format=rss_200
It appears that they do limit it to the initial 20 photos on flickr

Why do I only see 20 items in RSS
feeds?
Flickr only shows the latest 20 items
in a feed. Because of this, the first
time you connect to a feed you will
only see the most recent items. But if
your RSS reader saves items (as most
do) you will see more than 20 as the
items build up over time.
But you could potentially use the flickr api, particularly http://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photosets.getPhotos.html
Which allows you to get more (You will need to get an API key however)
Edit:
Though I have not personally used it I have read/heard good things about http://phpflickr.com/ which is a flickr api wrapper for php 4 and 5
Edit 2:
Unfortunately I can not comment on your comment but if you take a look at this link from the flickr code blog
http://code.flickr.com/blog/2008/08/25/api-responses-as-feeds/
Some API responses can been provided as feeds so you could try using "&format=feed-rss_200" not sure if it includes getPhotos yet though.
It seems like you want to use the photosets.getPhotos api call. It will give you a maximum of 500 photos.
Here is an example which gives you the url of the photo in url_o
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getPhotos&extras=url_o&photoset_id=72157622766901612&api_key=[YOUR APIKEY HERE]
You need an api key to make it work.
You can also get the output as JSON directly by adding &format=json to the url.

I am displaying feed/posts of facebook page/group via graph api in my site by calling this Url in php code -
https://graph.facebook.com/page_id/feed?access_token=token_value
Then, Among many type of posts, for a post of picture type i get picture url as
http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-0/1972372_10152261154160659_883879121_s.jpg
Now it's the small size as the last part "_s.jpg" indicates.But i want all picture sizes be large.So to achieve this what parameters are needed to include in the graph api url - "https://graph.facebook.com/page_id/feed?access_token=token_value" so that all picture/video type of posts' picture will be in large size??, so is there will be "_b.jpg" at last as i presume.Is that possible in one graph api call?
I searched through the google but no luck, but ended up planning that i would replace the last part of the pic url above with "_b.jpg" so that url will be like -
http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/t1.0-0/1972372_10152261154160659_883879121_b.jpg
But are there any drawbacks for this hack?? what are the correct ways to achieve if possible in one graph api call.
notice,
/page/feed?fields=attachments
this will give you all of the attachments in their full sizes. worked charms for me
You could use a FQL query to get the source info of the large versions of the photos use in a Page's feed:
SELECT pid, object_id, src_big, src_big_width, src_big_height FROM photo WHERE object_id in (SELECT attachment.media.photo.fbid FROM stream WHERE source_id={page_id} AND actor_id={page_id})
Not sure if that’s actually documented somewhere – but in Graph API Explorer, the “Search for a field” feature suggests a field called full_picture. A few quick tests suggest that for most feed items, it returns the original image that was used making the post, whether it was a picture uploaded with the post, a video thumbnail or whatever.
You can use it in your feed calls like this:
/{user-or-page-id}/feed?fields=full_picture,message,type,…
Only fields you will get by default when using the fields parameter are id and created_time, everything else you might be interested in (message, type, from, etc.) you will have to ask for specifically as well.
That is for any type of feed item that might have a picture attached – expect for type:photo. For those, you get an object_id as well, and when you query that explicitly in a second request, you get an images data structure, that lists the different image sizes Facebook has on their CDN.
I have not found a wya to make it spit out that additional info within the original /foo/feed request in one go though – but if you collect all object_id that call delivers, you can use them in a second call like this to get the info for multiple objects at once:
/?ids=object_id1,object_id2,…&fields=images
with every feed there is a node name object-Id, use this id like this
graph.facebook.com/object-id/picture?type=large
if it shows question mark photo then use access_token=XXXXXX in query string.
I'm using the following URL to search eBay:
http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=FindPopularItems&version=849&siteid=3&appid=app_id_removed8&MaxEntries=100&ItemSort=EndTime&ItemType=FixedPriceItem&IncludeSelector=SearchDetails&responseencoding=XML&QueryKeywords=breaking+bad&HideDuplicateItems=true&outputSelector=PictureURLLarge&descriptionSearch=false
It works, but the gallery images it returns are so small.
e.g.
http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/pict/2311096735168080_1.jpg
How can i make it return large images?
I've read this: eBay API - How to get large item pictures?
Which suggested I add &outputSelector=PictureURLLarge&descriptionSearch=false but I just get the same response.
FPI is an old API call and doesn't support a lot of the parameters that newer API calls allow, such as an output selector, item sorting, description search, etc.
To get larger images, you may need to use a simple brute force find/replace on the thumbnail URLs.
If you search/replace "8080_" with "4040_" or "9696_" you'll get larger images. Try it right now in your browser with any eBay item# and it should work.
See "eBay API Gallery Image Resizing" on my eBay tech tips site for more info on this.
so I want to have a .php script that uploads an image every 3 hours to my Tumblr (via a cronjob). I used to have a working script, however since Tumblr no longer supports their v1 API I am lost. I have found no good guides on Google (http://vigrond.com/blog/2012/02/04/oauth-extension-php-and-the-tumblr-api/ doesn't do it for me since I can't install the OAuth extension) and the official Tumblr Documentation doesn't even exist.
I would be very glad if you can help me out and point me to a solution :)
I've found this would be a good start: https://gist.github.com/1649885 but I cannot seem to get the access_token / access_secret.
I've done a simple script that posts a random image, taken from a random category, each category has its own tags and captions file, so for every image posted, you can have several captions.
the script is using the tumblr api v2.

I am trying to build a server side application (PHP) which can download photos that has been shared with me in Google +, but I couldn't find a method in Google+ PHP Client Library for this. I tried to get it through PicasaWeb API, but the Album 'Photos from posts' is not listed when trying to get the list of all albums.
Please suggest some way to do this.
Fetch the posts themselves. In there will be the URLs for the photos that you can then fetch to get the actual images.
Note that there are "resize" tags in the image URL path so if you see something like .../s2048/... or .../w497-h373/... then that will instruct G+ to give you a smaller version (which greatly reduces bandwidth and latency over requesting the full-size image and scaling it locally). Just remove that component of the path to get the full-size image.
I'm trying to integrate the Flickr API with Jquery Gallerific. If you're familiar with Gallerific you know photos in the Gallery can have a caption. I'm trying to pull photos from a specific set from a user using flickr.photosets.getPhotos to get thumbnails. However, with this method it's not possible to get description for each thumbnail, only for the set so I'm having to run flickr.photos.getInfo for each photo in the set, which works but is pretty much useless as a page takes 10+ seconds to load. Does anyone know how to obtain flickr photos from a set with the individual description for each photo? I've looked through the API but can't seem to find anything.
Thanks in advance!
Never actually used the Flickr API but what about just loading the thumbnails initially, then using JSONP (or a custom "proxy" of sorts) to query photo information asynchronously after the page has loaded. Or, better yet, when the user actually hovers over an image.
