Wandora has support for extracting information from Flickr into a topic map using the Flickr online API. Three different extractors are currently provided for extracting information from a profile, a specific photo and a Flickr group.

Flickr authentication

Many of the Flickr API functions used in the extractors require you to authorize Wandora to access your information. When Wandora needs to call such a function, it will check if it already has sufficient permissions from a previous call, and if not, prompt the you to commence authorization. Authorization involves following a URL generated by Wandora following instructions on the flickr website. Authorization information is stored on a per-session basis, and will be cleared whenever Wandora is closed. The information can also be manually cleared via configuration of any of the Flickr extractors. You may also store the authorization information from the current session and re-enter it later.

Choosing a Flickr extractor

To access the configuration dialog, ctrl-click one of the Flickr extractors in the File > Extract menu.

Profile extractor

The main entry point for extracting data from Flickr is the profile extractor. It can be found in the File > Extract menu.
