New Flickr API Output Format: LOL #

September 14, 2007.

Looks like there is a new Flickr API output format: LOL. Not my work, no idea who built this, but I really like it.

Here’s an example of returned data (?tags=cats&format=lol):

HAI

KTHXBYE.

Grab the data as usual, the format attribute is lol, apparently.

So… If you always thought about teaching your cat how to parse Flickr data, now might be the right time to jump in. Progress!

You look like you have no time, but still need to find some Xmas gifts, but have no idea what to get them, right?

Then try my new site, random.li: fast-paced, crack S.W.A.T. team-style gift finding.

Go go go! No time to waste! :)
