= hsflickr - Programming Flickr from Haskell = 'hsflickr' is a Haskell package providing a binding to the Flickr API - http://www.flickr.com/services/api/ The binding is functionally complete (Nov 2008), letting you write applications in Haskell that access and manipulates content on Flickr, either public information or per-user photos and properties. Including the uploading of new photos. = Getting started = For some code samples showing you how to get started using this API binding, have a look in the examples/ directory. = Building and installing = This package is provided in Cabal form, so only thing you need to do to get going is: foo% runghc Setup configure foo% runghc Setup build foo% runghc Setup install The package depends on a bunch of other packages though, so you need to have them built&installed, as well. They are: * HTTP: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/HTTP * xml: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xml * mime >= 0.3: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/mime * utf8-string: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/utf8-string = Authentication = To use this API binding to build your own Flickr application, you ought to apply for your own set of API keys to identify yourself with when prompting the user. See, http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/apply/ , for how to apply -- use either a 'mobile' or 'web' type of key. With that API key, instantiate your own APIKey value, see Util.Keys for definition of that type + examples of its use. (The keys that come with the package by default are not guaranteed to stick around for too long, esp. if their use end up being used in inapprop. ways.) = Feedback / question = Please send them to sof@forkIO.com , and I'll try to respond to them as best/quickly as possible.
