Re: Flickr Authentication |
Good news, since I'm only using this on my accounts it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the clarification. -S On 10/27/06, Dan Coulter <

Tokens never expire. The token can, however, be revoked by the user who authenticated on an app-by-app basis. It is fine to store them, as long as you provide a "logout" link, per the TOS.

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.

Ok, so if I have a token already, do I have to go through the authentication process for each session?

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.

Subject: [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 stored
make 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.
