The code I'm using now which gives me IOException.

//Loading image data into byteArray for "up.upload"

byte data[] = loadBytes("2.tif");


f= new Flickr(apiKey,secretKey,rest);

c=f.getContactsInterface();

p=f.getPeopleInterface();

o=f.getPhotosetsInterface();

up=f.getUploader();

   requestContext = RequestContext.getRequestContext();
   Auth auth = new Auth();
   auth.setPermission(Permission.WRITE);
   //auth.setToken("jan");
   requestContext.setAuth(auth);

requestContext.setSharedSecret(secretKey);

UploadMetaData uploadMetaData = new UploadMetaData(); uploadMetaData.setTitle("hello world");


try {


up.upload(data,uploadMetaData);

} catch (FlickrException e) {


e.printStackTrace();

}

I "got" it.
The proces is like this.
like all the "Java" examples:
Generate a URL with a generated FROB.
Visit the URL and CHECK the new FROB inside the url.
With this new frob you can somehow get a token of the generated frob is your token.

I could not find anything inside the flickrj api how to automatically fetch the frob or token. For now I used a PHP script. I know it's stupid but it gave me the right TOKEN.

With this token I can upload images.

The php script <http://drewish.com/projects/phlickr/phlickr>

My example:

String apiKey="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
String secretKey ="XXXXX";
String token = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

Flickr f;
ContactsInterface c;
PeopleInterface p;
PhotosetsInterface o;
Uploader up = new Uploader(apiKey,secretKey);
REST rest;

RequestContext requestContext;

AuthInterface authInterface;
String frob = "";
void setup()  {
byte data[] = loadBytes("2.tif");
size(500, 500);
f= new Flickr(apiKey,secretKey,(new Flickr(apiKey)).getTransport());
up=f.getUploader();
authInterface=f.getAuthInterface();
requestContext = RequestContext.getRequestContext();
requestContext.setSharedSecret(secretKey);

try {
frob = authInterface.getFrob();
println(frob);
URL joep = authInterface.buildAuthenticationUrl(Permission.WRITE, frob);
println(joep.toExternalForm());
System.out.println("Press return after you granted access at this URL:");

} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (FlickrException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}


try {
Auth auth = new Auth();
requestContext.setAuth(auth);
//authInterface.addAuthToken();
auth.setToken(token);
   auth.setPermission(Permission.WRITE);
 System.out.println("Token Is: " + auth.getToken());
System.out.println("Permission for token: " + auth.getPermission());  
f.setAuth(auth);
UploadMetaData uploadMetaData = new UploadMetaData(); uploadMetaData.setTitle("hello world");
up.upload(data,uploadMetaData);

} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (FlickrException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

Hey Guys,


This post has got me almost as far as I need to go in order to explore the FlickrJ java implimentation of the Flickr API.  I have a couple of questions if some can help me the last bit.

I too, was using the authentication example provided in the flickrapi-1.2.zip to get me starting in the Eclipse Development environment.

Code:

System.out.println("frob: " + frob);
	  URL url = authInterface.buildAuthenticationUrl(Permission.DELETE, frob);
	  System.out.println("Press return after you granted access at this URL:"); 

My question is - after I get to this point in the code - I enter the URL as PDA described into a browser window and it does take me to a Flickr page where I am asked as my logged in user (tim bright) to authorize the application to use my account.  I believe this is required in order to get the token.

But here is where I am unclear - If I click yes authorize the Flickr website takes me to the webpage registered in my registered app.  The so called Callback URL- I just put a filler site, my own website homepage in their when I was registoring my app.  

When I click authorize I see that the site attempts to go that page - (as it is in the url among other information) - but obviously becuase that particularly webpage isn't set up to receive my frob, api, secret word and whatever else, it also isn't set up to return the token.

So my question is, I guess.  Do I need to build a web page, (in php I suppose) to handle that data and in fact return a token, or is there a simplier way.

It seems that this is perhaps what kleinejan did, but I couldn't access the PHP link on his/her code.

As you can probably tell - I'm a relatively modest programmer.  I haven't even considered the Processing side of the equation yet, but I figure that is relatively straight forward when I have my access sorted out.

Many thanks for your help in advance.
