Flickr

The Flickr modules allow you to watch, search, create, and modify both photos and photosets and make API calls.

Getting started with Flickr

To use any of the Flickr modules, you must connect your Flickr account to Boost.space Integrator. If you do not have an account yet, you can create one at flickr.com.
