Playing with Flickr API

Flickr has really amazing web service API, they support many transports REST, SOAP, and XML-RPC. I had some idea about SOAP, and XML-RPC, and never worked with REST, it turned out as the best and the simplest one of them.

All you need is API KEY which is a key you use every time you call a function, it is used by Flickr for statistics, you can get it from here Get a key, it is only one form, and you will get the key instantly.

This is a sample REST request:
/services/rest/?method=flickr.people.findByUsername&api_key=e8fda…

Give it a try it is really simple API, and simple interface.
