I'm researching the issue of electronic waste and I'm using this code in flickrapi py module to get an xml data on Flickr images tagged with #e-waste.
import flickrapi
import xml
api_key='myAPI key'
api_secret ='myAPI secret'
flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key,secret=api_secret)
r = flickr.photos_search(tags='e-waste', has_geo="1", per_page='100')
xml.etree.ElementTree.dump(r)
Running the code gives me results:
<rsp stat="ok">
<photos page="1" pages="58" perpage="100" total="5785">
<photo farm="3" id="13982876982" isfamily="0" isfriend="0" ispublic="1" owner="100231432@N02" secret="2d33e5efb1" server="2903" title="Sean Gallagher, Pulitzer Photojournalist visits MSA" />
<photo farm="8" id="13962977066" isfamily="0" isfriend="0" ispublic="1" owner="100231432@N02" secret="aeb6bc1454" server="7139" title="Sean Gallagher, Pulitzer Photojournalist visits MSA" />
</photos>
</rsp>
Now, I want to also get printed the geo metadata that these images should have. How can I achieve that? I ultimately want to extract that geodata into a csv that I can then map.
Cheers!
Extract the id attribute from the <photo> element, then pass that to flickr.photos.getInfo and extract data from the <location> element. The example on the documentation page doesn't show this, but you can use the API Explorer to see an example. Here's an example from one of my photos:
<location latitude="38.829786" longitude="-77.52202" accuracy="14" context="0" place_id="ioKEzZ1TV7oQ55R_" woeid="2501239">
<locality place_id="ioKEzZ1TV7oQ55R_" woeid="2501239">Sudley Springs</locality>
<county place_id="hF2V0rlQUL9MlAlEkA" woeid="12590406">Prince William</county>
<region place_id="pPrhG7VTUb6SbYO." woeid="2347605">Virginia</region>
<country place_id="nz.gsghTUb4c2WAecA" woeid="23424977">United States</country>
</location>
