Calling the Flickr API getRecent method with c# and Linq to XML
February 7th, 2009
UPDATE: I have updated this article to now use the flickr.interestingness.getList method instead of getRecent. I love getRecent, but out of every 3 to 400 pictures there’s almost always one or two pictures that most audiences would consider offensive. All of the photos returned by flickr.interestingness.getList are artistic and very few of them would be considered offensive by most people.
One of my favorite features of Flickr is browsing through photos that have just been uploaded. You can get a glimpse of this on Flickr’s home page, but I decided I’d write some code so I could look at a bunch of them all at once. I also like making calls against other web API’s (like from Twitter, FriendFeed or delicious).
