In Chapter 3, Drupal and Flickr, we continued our discussion of Drupal's interaction and integration with external web services and applications. We looked in detail at how Drupal consumes web data from these external hosts. Here, we turned our attention to using the Flickr modules to enable integration with the popular photo-sharing web application Flickr.
To follow along with examples in Chapter 3, Drupal and Flickr, it's a good idea to set up a Flickr account and create some galleries and sets that you can work with. You can sign up for a Flickr account at: http://flickr.com/
You will also need to sign up for a Flickr API key and developer account at:
We installed and enabled the Flickr module so we can integrate our Flickr photo galleries with our Drupal site. The Flickr suite of modules includes Flickr Block, Flickr Filter, Flickr Sets, and Flickr Tags.
