Flickr badge: Flickr API-Key

[meralda-art]

I use http://idgettr.com/ to get my flickr-api-key, but then it says in German:
"Falsche Konfigurationsangaben für die Option "flickr_api_key". Diese muss vom Typ "string" sein!"

What does this mean: "type string"? The result of the query was 7724312@N03. When I try 7724312 only I get no error message, but it doesn't work. As well 7724312%40N03 doesn't work.

Hi!

What you get there is your flickr ID, not your flickr API KEY!

The API KEY does not contain "@". Also, it is much longer (about 32 chars, IIRC).

I did it as documented here: http://www.elliotswan.com/2006/08/06/cu ... umentation

looks like it worked for the others.

Hi Meralda!

You are confusing a serendipity Flickr Badge with a Flickr Badge WIDGET application using HTML/JS provided by Flickr.

The s9y flickr plugin uses API means to access this, thus it needs an API key, while the Flickr Badge itself only needs your username.

Please ask on the flickr forums for help on how to get your API key, or you use the flickr badge widget, for which you don't need a specific s9y plugin, simply use a HTML nugget plugin for that.
