METHODS¶

"new({ opt => 'value', ... })"

Returns as new Flickr::API object. The options are as follows:

"execute_method($method, $args)"

Constructs a Flickr::API::Request object and executes it, returning a Flickr::API::Response object.

"execute_request($request)"

Executes a Flickr::API::Request object, returning a Flickr::API::Response object. Calls are signed if a secret was specified when creating the Flickr::API object.

"request_auth_url($perms,$frob)"

For web-based applications $frob is an optional parameter.

Returns undef if a secret was not specified when creating the "Flickr::API" object.
