FLICKR..._CONFIG(1p)

💖 FLICKR..._CONFIG(1p) — the flickr_make_stored_config page 💖

okay bestie, so this is FLICKR..._CONFIG(1p) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it's literally just one little script that helps you build the config files Flickr::API needs. it's giving "tiny but powerful" energy. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

flickr_make_stored_config — a script to assist with testing and using the Flickr::API

like, that's the whole job. it helps. it assists. it's a supportive friend. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flickr_make_stored_config --config_out=Config-File_to_build [--config_in=file  --consumer_key=...]

so yeah, --config_out is the non-negotiable one, and everything in the square brackets is optional garnish. 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💜 Required:

• --config_out — points to where to create the stored Flickr config file. this one is not optional, bestie, it's the whole point. no --config_out, no config. periodt.

🌈 Optional:

• --config_in — points to the optional input config file to use as a base for the --config_out file you are creating. like a starter save file but for configs.
• --api_type — either flickr for the original, but deprecated, Flickr authentication OR oauth for the OAuth authentication. it defaults to oauth. (yes, the old one is deprecated, we said what we said 🙈)

🔥 For Flickr Auth

• --api_key — The api key when used with Flickr authentication, required for testing. --key still works to maintain compatibility with Flickr::API 1.10 and before, but it is saved as api_key.
• --secret — The api secret when used with Flickr authentication, required for testing. --secret still works to maintain compatibility with Flickr::API 1.10 and before, but it is saved as api_secret.
• --frob — The frob used in Flickr authentication. frob. that's the actual name. iconic honestly. 🐸
• --token — The auth token, can be either a Flickr or OAuth Access token used with Flickr authentication.

🦋 For OAuth

• --consumer_key — The api key when used with OAuth authentication, required for testing.
• --consumer_secret — The api secret when used with OAuth authentication, required for testing.
• --callback — The callback uri for use in OAuth authentication.
• --token_secret — The OAuth access token secret.
• --help — as expected 💁
• --usage — as expected 💁
• --man — as expected 💁

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

This script is a lightweight method to assemble the required arguments for using the Flickr::API. it can be used to assemble the configuration(s) needed for the make test portion of installation. the way that it does not use Flickr::API — it sticks to modules from perl core so that it can be used prior to (and perhaps in conjunction with) installation and testing of the Flickr::API module. so it's self-sufficient. independent. main character energy, honestly. 👑

When you make test, add the environment variable MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG, MAKETEST_FLICKR_CFG or both; each pointing to the configuration file you specified. The command should look something like:

make test MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickr-oauth.cfg

or

make test MAKETEST_FLICKR_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickrs-auth.cfg

or

make test MAKETEST_FLICKR_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickrs-auth.cfg \
        MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickr-oauth.cfg

both at once?? yes bestie, you can do that, we love a multitasker. 💖
