NAME

flickr_method_test_echo.pl

an example for using either OAuth or Old School Flickr

DESCRIPTION

This script uses either the Flickr or OAuth parameters to call the flickr.test.echo method.

USAGE

flickr_method_test_echo.pl --use_api=[oauth, flickr] \
   --key="24680beef13579feed987654321ddcc6" \
   --secret="de0cafe4feed0242"

Depending on what you specify with --use_api the flickr.test.echo call will use the appropriate parameter set. If Flickr::API-new> is called with a consumer_key, OAuth is used. If Flickr::API-new> with key the old Flickr Authentication is used.

CALL DIFFERENCES

if ($config->{use_api} =~ m/flickr/i) {

   $api = Flickr::API->new({'key'    => $config->{key},
                            'secret' => $config->{secret}});
}
elsif  ($config->{use_api} =~ m/oauth/i) {

   $api = Flickr::API->new({'consumer_key'    => $config->{key},
                            'consumer_secret' => $config->{secret}});

} else {

    die "\n --use_api must be either 'flickr' or 'oauth' \n";
