flickrpub

Watches a directory of files and pushes them to a given flickr collection. Sub-directories are created as separate sets.

This is a one-shot project for gathering and uploading family photos from an event. I may update it in future and respond to pull requests, but don't expect to spend a lot of time on this project!

NB: Unfinished at time of writing, documentation is thus hypothetical. May publish to pip if it ends up being polished enough.

Installation

From git checkout:

python setup.py install

Configuration

First obtain an API key and secret as per the flickrapi documentation. This is required by Flickr to use their API.

Save these credentials in a file named credentials.ini in your current working directory:

[flickrapi]
api_key = xxx
secret = xxx

Usage

Publish a directory tree of files:

flickrpub <dir>

Watch a drectory and publish files as they are added:

flickrpub -w <dir>

(this uses Linux's inotify, and is thus only supported on Linux)
