flickr-url-parser 1.0.0

Enter a Flickr URL, and find out what sort of URL it is (single photo, album, gallery, etc.)

This is a library for parsing Flickr URLs. You enter a Flickr URL, and it tells you what sort of URL it is.

Examples:

>>> from flickr_url_parser import parse_flickr_url

>>> parse_flickr_url('https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/50567413447')
{'type': 'single_photo', 'photo_id': '50567413447'}

>>> parse_flickr_url('https://www.flickr.com/photos/aljazeeraenglish/albums/72157626164453131')
{'type': 'album', 'user_url': 'https://www.flickr.com/photos/aljazeeraenglish', 'album_id': '72157626164453131'}

>>> parse_flickr_url('https://www.flickr.com/people/blueminds/')
{'type': 'user', 'user_url': 'https://www.flickr.com/photos/blueminds'}

This was extracted as a standalone bit of functionality from Flinumeratr, a toy that shows you a list of photos that can be viewed at a Flickr URL.
