This is the first time I've tried to interact with the Flickr api. All I want to do is grab a photoset and display it on my blog. I'm using Jekyll and have downloaded a plugin that is meant to exactly this from here.
Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. What I mean is, it is not accessing any photosets.
The setup instructions ask for an api key. So, I created a test app on flickr and got the api key. That is what I am using.
What strikes me as strange though is that the plugin does not seems to ask for any authentication. In the api calls it makes it simply uses an api key.
If I am accessing public photosets then do I still need to authenticate? If so, how?! Do I need to set my test flick app up differently in someway?
I've been googling around but the flickr docs seem to make lots of assumptions that you know what they're talking about!
EDIT: When I try and build my jekyll site I get this error:
Liquid Exception: Caught NameError at ':{"id":"721576077277': uninitialized constant Encoding in flickr.md
So I'm guessing that there is something wrong with the custom liquid tag?
