[GotoConsol]

Is it possible to find out flickr uploader's user name based on file name of a saved image from flickr?

for example:

4494287087_c746a9d4c1_b

and without net browser history

Thanks

You can use the photo ID, 4494287087 in your example's case, and query flickr for its information

$ gallery-dl -j https://www.flickr.com/photos/_/4494287087
...
      "owner": {
        "gift": {
          "eligible_durations": [
            "year",
            "month",
            "week"
          ],
          "gift_eligible": true,
          "new_flow": true
        },
        "iconfarm": 3,
        "iconserver": "2505",
        "location": "in my home",
        "nsid": "46548580@N05",
        "path_alias": "ab360gradi",
        "realname": "Annibale Barone",
        "username": "annibale barone"
      },

Ok, thanks

and how to use this?
how to call this in cmd?

[Hrxn]

Huh?
What do you mean?
See the example above on how to use this.

[GotoConsol]

those lines should be in config file or where?

[Hrxn]

No, simply run gallery-dl -j https://www.flickr.com/photos/_/<YOUR_PHOTO_ID_HERE> on the command-line..

[GotoConsol]

ok when done only I could see in response is:

[ ]

where does the output go?
I can't get any of these:

      "owner": {
        "gift": {
          "eligible_durations": [
            "year",
            "month",
            "week"
          ],
          "gift_eligible": true,
          "new_flow": true
        },
        "iconfarm": 3,
        "iconserver": "2505",
        "location": "in my home",
        "nsid": "46548580@N05",
        "path_alias": "ab360gradi",
        "realname": "Annibale Barone",
        "username": "annibale barone"
      },

[Hrxn]

Your response is empty?
Can you post the full output with --verbose, then?

Here's what I see:

You are using the default API key, which is not working at the moment.

Better to use your own API key.
Do it like this..

[GotoConsol]

Ok, thanks

flickr is back online

[Hrxn]

Okay, so this can be closed, I presume?

[GotoConsol]

yes
