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

Getting started with Flickr

Connecting Flickr to {{Make}}

Choose the Flickr module you want to use.
Under Connection, click Add.
Choose a name for your connection.
Click Save. {{Make}} then redirects you to the Flickr website where you are prompted to grant {{Make}} access to your account.
Click Ok, I'll authorize it.
