Last weekday, I've read Flickr API developers section. As we all know, there is already CFlickr which support us to integrate CF and Flickr for uploading photos, retrieving photos and so on. But, I'm getting sick of installing this CFlickr in my blog because I only need to display my photography in my blog and don't want to upload and edit anymore. To display Flickr in our blog, we can also use with RSS feed. If we use RSS feed by retrieving data from Flickr, Flickr will product small images. I've already posted about it in my blog already. Simple Flickr Integration But I don't like those small thumbnail. What I gonna do if I want to display medium thumbail? Answer is very simple. "Use Flickr API" Usage of Flickr API

Today, I've developed Simple Flickr Integration with Coldfusion. It's just simple and no thing to be surprised what I've done. As we all, Flickr support us to give API features for integrate with them. But, it's not right time for me to use this Flickr API because I don't want to upload any photo to Flickr via my blog or website because of bandwidth limitation at my hosting. Here is coding which fetch photograph from Flickr.





	FlickrContent = trim(cfhttp.filecontent);
	FlickrContent = XMLParse(FlickrContent);


	


		
			#FlickrContent.rss.channel.item[i].title.xmlText#
		


		
			
		


		Uploaded on : #Dateformat(FlickrContent.rss.channel.item[i].pubDate.xmlText, "dd-mmm-yyyy")#

Here is my photography on Flickr
