The place to discuss how to make 23 work in special ways with the 23 api

photosets.getList does not return tags when requested via the extras parameter

Hi, I'm half way to getting a lovely little application working that needs tags within photosets in order to work.

If I do a people.getPublicPhotos request and include "extras=tags", I get comma separated tags back as expected in the XML.

If I do a similar request using photosets.getList for one of my photo sets, I get the photos back but the XML does not include any tags, nor does it include empty XML attributes on the results where those tags should be.

See it in action: http://www.23hq.com/services/rest/?api_key=eqphoto&method=people.getPublicPhotos&user_id=6463733&extras=tags (with your credentials appended)

Gives me results like this:

[photo id="6463832" owner="6463733" secret="2a51650bdfbc781ed2ba552ca9609970" server="23666" farm="1" title="" ispublic="1" isfamily="0" isfriend="0" tags="xl"/]

http://www.23hq.com/services/rest/?api_key=eqphoto&method=photosets.getPhotos&photoset_id=6463823&extras=tags (with your credentials appended)

Result for the same image in the result set:

[photo id="6463832" secret="2a51650bdfbc781ed2ba552ca9609970" server="23666" title="" isprimary="0"/]

Hopefully you can take a look at this for me? Seems like a bug, unless there is something that I am doing wrong here.

Oh and BTW - the link for this forum is broken on the API documentation page, so you have to google to find these conversations... It has this URL: http://www.23hq.com/forums/forum-view?forum%5fid=132899

Thanks,

stef

Hi Stefl

The problem is that we're not 100% compliant with the Flickr API -- there are features that we haven't been able to implement. The extras tag feature is a good example: The way our database is structured we haven't been able to offer the data in a scalable fahion -- so unfortunately, we simply return stuff without the tags.

Sorry about that,
Steffen
