I have uploaded a test photoset in flicker (photoset) and the tagged a couple of users in each pic of the set.
Now I want to be able to retrieve the list of people in a given photo of that set, but the list always comes empty. This is my flickr4java code:
Flickr flickr;
PeopleInterface people=flickr.getPeopleInterface();
PersonTagList<PersonTag> persons= people.getList("17224159072");
for(PersonTag person:persons){
System.out.println("UsER:"+person.getUsername()) }
The debugger shows that the photo indeed contains people
hasPeople=True
and even the API explorer is able to retrieve the list but, as I said, persons is always empty. I have no trouble retrieving other information.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Let's say I'm getting payouts information https://stripe.com/docs/api/payouts/list
I want to get the destination info, so if we take the example from the docs:
I want the details from that destination, I don't mean the specific details like the exact credit card number, but the info when going on the page itself, this one:
It's not working listing the banks accounts https://stripe.com/docs/api/customer_bank_accounts/list , I'm getting zero results when list them all
I'm using Golang library but I think this solution can be solved by others programming languages
I'm also using expandable fields but I get blank results on bank_account and card details
what is interesting however, is when debugging the page, they make request to v1/payouts/{id} with expand[]: balance_transaction and the returned data contains the bank information, but when I do it with their API, that info is not returned back
The Payout destination is expandable, meaning you can have it replaced with the full object by sending you request with expand[]=destination or for a list command data.destination.
I'm using Google Photos API to access albums.
Users can have in an album anything from a single photo to thousands of photos.
Is there a way to get something like an ETag to know if an album has changed since a previous known state?
Currently, the only way I could find is to iterate over all the images, and having to do that in 100 photos each time can take a lot of calls just to find out at the end that nothing has changed.
You want to know whether the album of Google Photos has been changed.
I could understand like above. Unfortunately, in the current stage, there are no metadata like the modified date when the contents in the album were changed. So in my case, I use the following workaround. Please think of this as just one of several workarounds.
Workaround:
If the number of photos in the album is changed, it can be known by the property of mediaItemsCount.
If the cover photo is changed, it can be known by the property of coverPhotoBaseUrl.
If several photos in a album are changed without increasing and decreasing the number of photos, unfortunately, in the current stage, I think that it is required to confirm the creationTime, filename and so on using the method of mediaItems.list.
By confirming from above in order, I can know about the change of the album.

Method: albums.list
Method: albums.get
Method: mediaItems.list
in my application, i enter a user name and get his photo.
(To get photos, i use: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/3/media/recent/?access_token = ...)
Request returns only 20 pictures, how to get all photos user?
I want to get photos of this user which contain his likes.
How can this be done?
I have an idea to get all the pictures that have user and check each pictures does it have his like ?!
But I get only the data for the four member who delivered Like, although photo has 50 likes. (See the screenshot below). Why so ? How to fix it ?
Thanks for the help.
It's a two step process:
1) Perform a GET request to /users/user-id/media/recent inorder to get the most recent media published by a user.
2) Then perform a second GET request to /media/media-id/likes in order to get a list of users who have liked this media.
At this point you can record all the media-id's which contain likes by the specific person you want.
Here is the API for instagram users:
http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/users/
Here is the API for instagram likes:
http://instagram.com/developer/endpoints/likes/
As for getting the entire history, I apologize but I'm unclear as to how to go about doing more than what they provide.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
I've got a public flickr with multiple sets.
What I want to do is, with one API call, get all photos from all the sets but have each photo tagged by set.. is this possible?
I can only seem to find API calls that will get all photos for 1 set (flickr.photosets.getPhotos), or all photos in all sets (flickr.people.getPhotos) but can't seem to find one that will get all photos in all sets but somehow tag/id what set each photo belongs to...
possible?
thanks!
You may do the following:
1.get the list of sets for specific user by using
flickr.photosets.getList
2.loop through all sets that the user has and get photos using
flickr.photosets.getPhotos
3.Using
flickr.photos.addTags
to add tags to all the photos in this set
I'm working on an instagram scraper for something and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get all photos for a tag that have an id or timestamp later than the last one I have.
The instagram API docs are useless in that they don't have any real info on pagination (which I presume I'll have to abuse).
Does anyone have any ideas?
I've been slogging through the Instagram API for the last couple of days so here's my 2 cents worth:
As far as I can see it if you call the api with /tags/tag-name/media/recent it only return a list if items. If the amount exceeds about 25 you have to make another request with the pagination value returned in the previous request.
In order to gain some control I am initially iterating through all images and storing the results (just the URL not the actual image) to a database. Now I can manipulate however I want. When I feel like updating (I'm doing it manually now but could be a cron job or use the real-time api) I re-read all the images, compare to what I have in my DB and add possible new images. My app then reads out the url and info from my DB (which btw is a heck of a lot faster than going through the instagram api, which will only return about 25 images per request - regardless of any 'count' parameter value you put in the request url) and displays it.
I am developing this for a client who is afraid of people posting nsfw or whatever pics using their dedicated hashtag (for a contest) - with the above set up I can offer them an interface where they can check and mark images that are then displayed in the app.
One thing to watch out for is when a user deletes his picture; you will have to find a way to check for this. Currently (since I'm lazy) I load all images and use jquery to check for an error loading the image. If there is one I delete the image from the DB (via ajax).
I'm not sure the pagination is going to help you: as far as I can see the pagination response has no relation to the id's of the actual image objects on each page - so theoretically a pagination id that jumps to a certain page (i.e. date) might not work tomorrow if enough images have been deleted in the mean time.
to get all images instead of latest 20, just append &count=-1 to your api call - it's that simple.
In either case, there is a timestamp on each json object - or if you prefer, you can use max_tag_id

* Update April 2014: count=-1 is no longer available.
