Is there a way to get a photo by photoId in Flickr.Net?

Question

I have nearly all bits of my Flickr app worked out but I'm stumped by this. I can upload a photo using UploadPicture and this will return the created photo's photoId. But now I'd like to have the full Photo object for that id. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get that as there doesn't seem to be a GetPhoto method. The consequence is that after a picture upload I have to download all pictures to find the one uploaded. That's a waste of bandwidth and Flickr's resources.

Answer 1

You can do it.

From the Flickr API:

flickr.photos.getInfo

Get information about a photo. The calling user must have permission to view the photo.

After digging around the FlickerNet documentation , I found their implementation for it:

FlickrNet.Flickr.PhotosGetInfo

• public PhotoInfo PhotosGetInfo(string photoId, string secret){...}
• public PhotoInfo PhotosGetInfo(string photoId) {...}

Hope it helps!
