Retrieving Flickr Favorites

I can't get this to work... what could be the problem? import flickrapi api_key = '1234...' flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key) user = '43699959@N02' favs = flickr.favorites_ge

Solution 1:

The result is correct -- as per the URL you gave, the XML nodes are empty (plus/minus newline and whitespace characters, apparently). favs.text would return the content, but what you're looking for is in the attributes. Try this:

for photo in favs.find('photos').findall('photo'):
    print photo.get('id')

Result:

'445267544''3334987037'

Or for all child nodes, starting from the root:

for elm in favs.getiterator():
    print elm.items()

Result:

[('stat', 'ok')][('total', '2'), ('perpage', '100'), ('page', '1'), ('pages', '1')][('isfamily', '0'), ('title', 'The Giants of Africa'), ('farm', '1'), ('ispublic', '1'), ('server', '218'), ('isfriend', '0'), ('secret', '992df924aa'), ('owner', '49746597@N00'), ('id', '445267544'), ('date_faved', '1273873654')][('isfamily', '0'), ('title', 'Lava Light - Maui, Hawaii'), ('farm', '4'), ('ispublic', '1'), ('server', '3401'), ('isfriend', '0'), ('secret', '2fa1856916'), ('owner', '7765891@N08'), ('id', '3334987037'), ('date_faved', '1273873515')]
