flickrpy + 30 lines of code = poor man's Flickr Backup solution

sigizmund — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:11:00 +0000

It uses somewhat buggy but excellent flickrpy module by James Clarke — works well for me after some small adjustments:

def main():
    flickr.API_KEY = constants.API_KEY
    flickr.API_SECRET = constants.API_SECRET

    u = flickr.User(id = '92002612@N00')
    sets = u.getPhotosets()

    for ps in sets:
        name = ps.title
        name = name.replace('"', "'").replace("/", "_")

        folderName = "/Users/kirillov/Pictures/Flickr/%s" % name
        if os.path.exists(folderName):
            print("Path exists, skipping: %s" % folderName )
            continue

        photos = ps.getPhotos()

        os.mkdir(folderName)
        i = 0
        for i,p in enumerate(photos):
            src = p.getSizes()[-1]['source']
            photoname = p.getTitle().replace("/", "_")

            fname = '/Users/kirillov/Pictures/Flickr/%s/%s-%d.jpg' % (name, photoname, i)
            data = u2.urlopen(src).read()
            open(fname, 'w').write(data)

            print('%s => "/Users/kirillov/Pictures/Flickr/%s/%s-%d.jpg"' % (src,name, photoname, i))

Upd: fixed and updated version posted.

Autumn in Ravenscourt Park

Decided to have a short walk today – before diving in into studying. It was good :)

At the moment of writing all these unbelievable colours are already gone :) Too bad it didn’t last for long.

Friday night at Trafalgar Square

I really love this place – probably, one of my most favourite here in London. Well, not only here and not only in London – just take a look yourself.

Me and Natalie on our friends' wedding

I bet you’re surprised I do not look as smart as the rest of the guests (and not even nearly as smart as my beautiful wife). Well, that’s because I’ve been the most miserable person there – namely photographer, and spend the whole day jumping around with the camera (with two cameras, in fact), so at 12AM when guests were enjoying the Spanish wine and truly delicious food from the hotel’s restaurant, I fought myself to not fall asleep right where I was sitting.

Night computing

The red spot on the right is, obviously, the Microsoft’s IntelliMouse.

Walks with my sister and 50mm

Yep, my sister indeed is in London. And she’s doing pretty well, you see!

We had a nice walk down the London streets – from Soho to Hyde Park, via Piccadilly and Green Park, photographing everywhere within our reach and behaving like a real, natural tourists!

Rest of the photographs are here in my Flickr.
