Apprise not using Flickr account restriction

[killervette42]

I set my Flickr api and account. The website pulls images from my Flickr, however the apprise notifications choose any image from Flickr. I would expect it to pick images from my account specified.

No, It's more simple than that. It uses your details to log in to Flickr and use the API. The images are pulled from Flickr based on the names.

[killervette42]

Is that just for the apprise section. The webpage works correctly and shows only images from my account which is specified.

[lloydbayley]

Really? Well actually, I hadn't delved that deep into it. I just accepted that it showed pictures. I have a basic Flickr account with no pictures, so I hadn't noticed! I'll have another look through the code.

[killervette42]

Yea. On the webpage of my account doesn’t have a picture of a certain bird, no picture shows. But it worked perfectly for the birds I do have pics for.

Just apprise ignores it.

[lloydbayley]

You're absolutely correct. Notifications don't honour the filter. We can stick it on the to-do list! (Unless @Nachtzuster has already begun)...

[killervette42]

Great, thanks!

[Nachtzuster]

stick it on the to-do list!

indeed

[killervette42]

Also, it's ignored when you go to Best Recordings and then pick a species.

[lloydbayley]

@Nachtzuster Did anyone look into this (I know I forgot) or is it still on 'the list' ? :)

[Nachtzuster]

It is still very much open, unfortunately

[lloydbayley]

Ok, will try to remember to have a look at this over the weekend!

[lloydbayley]

Just as a small update, I've had a good look at this and it's a bit yukky....since the notify is in python and the main one is in PHP, it will require some effort. I'm going to have a think about this. I need to re-construct the fetch in python with the email filter.

[Nachtzuster]

I see.
Maybe another option would be to expose the php flickr functionality as a (rest?) api, so that the python code can call it.
Only one place with flickr logic would be nice.
Just an idea, I have not looked into how involved that would be

[lloydbayley]

It certainly makes sense. A bit beyond my skillset at the moment I'm afraid.
