Re: Flickr Authentication

sangraal,yes, that's my understanding. the user has to accept the frob (and login if they haven't already) before you can get a token for them.----- Original Message ----From: sangraal aiken <sangraal-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: yws-flickr-hHKSG33TihhbjbujkaE4pw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSent: Friday, October 27, 2006 10:18:08 AMSubject: [yws-flickr] Flickr Authentication I'm trying to use a java program to login in to my Flickr accounts only. The problem I'm having is with the authentication process. I need to be able to run the software without user interaction. I don't mind authenticating the app by hand, storing the token to a database so that I can process automatically in the future, but this method doesn't seem to work. It seems like I can't get a valid from from flickr unless the user signs in and authenticates that individual session. Is this the case or am I just missing something?Currently this is my process:request frob build auth. link, unless I already have a token storedmake authenticated call... currently recentlyUpdated.If I don't click the generated auth. link, I get an invalid frob message from flickr.Any help will be greatly appreciated. -Sangraal A. __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Custom software development Database development software Embedded software development Offshore software development Software development Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Re: Flickr Authentication

how are you defining a "session"? you said "java app", so i assume you did not mean http session.tokens expire, so you need to be able to catch the situation and ask the user to re-authenticate at any time. the length of the token's session may not necessarily correspond to your application's session.IMHO, it's incorrect to be storing a token anywhere persistently. i hope someone can correct me there if i've misspoken.----- Original Message ----From: sangraal aiken <sangraal-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: yws-flickr-hHKSG33TihhbjbujkaE4pw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSent: Frida y, October 27, 2006 11:03:33 AMSubject: Re: [yws-flickr] Flickr Authentication Ok, so if I have a token already, do I have to go through the authentication process for each session?-SOn 10/27/06, jeff < farble1670@yahoo. com> wrote: sangraal,yes, that's my understanding. the user has to accept the frob (and login if they haven't already) before you can get a token for them. ----- Original Message ----From: sangraal aiken < sangraal@gmail. com>To: yws-flickr@yahoogroups.comSent: Friday, October 27, 2006 10:18:08 AM Subject: [yws-flickr] Flickr Authentication I'm trying to use a java program to login in to my Flickr accounts only.
