使用'flickrnode'API时出现'TypeError：undefined is not function'错误

Question

I'm new to Node.js and I'm trying to get a Flickr API working on my local machine: https://github.com/ciaranj/flickrnode I have installed the flickr module with npm install flickr.

The simplest call is:

var FlickrAPI= require('flickr').FlickrAPI;
var sys= require('sys');
var flickr= new FlickrAPI(your_api_key_here);

// Search for photos with a tag of 'badgers'
flickr.photos.search({tags:'badgers'},  function(error, results) {
    sys.puts(sys.inspect(results));
});

I've changed 'sys' to 'util' as node prompted me to and added my api key so I'm calling:

var FlickrAPI= require('flickr').FlickrAPI;
var sys= require('util');
var flickr= new FlickrAPI('...');

// Search for photos with a tag of 'badgers'
flickr.photos.search({tags:'badgers'},  function(error, results) {
    sys.puts(sys.inspect(results));
});

Running node myfile.js, I get:

var flickr= new FlickrAPI('a513719086ba8c3a28d2c7726939b58e');
            ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function

Does anyone know how I overcome this problem?

Thanks!
