Flickr API

I have a ton of old prints I'd like to get published on-line at Flickr. I have a scanner at home but that sounds like a tedious process to me. It turns out that Walgreens (a US pharmacy) provides scanning services at a reasonable price. Sounds like a winner.

Typically whenever I publish photos to Flickr, I use iPhoto with FlickrExport from Connected Flow. This works fine for a manageable number of photos.

I'm thinking I want a better approach for bulk uploads so I signed up for an API key and intend to write some code to manage and automate the upload process for me.

I'll keep you posted with my findings and experiences using the API in due course.
