How do you use getWithGeoData with dates?
|
I have been playing around with flickr.photos.getWithGeoData and using the Flickr API Explorer to test my results.
When I sign the call with full permissions and no other options approximately 100 photos are returned as expected.
If I then alter the privacy_filter to 4, I again get approximately 100 photos again as expected.
The problem arises when I try to use any of these min_upload_date, max_upload_date, min_taken_date or max_taken_date.
I understand that the upload and taken dates take different formats (a unix timestamp and a mysql datetime format). I have tried setting them to various dates but each time the number of results returned is zero (which is not what I expected).
For instance, if I set min_taken_date to "2000-01-01 00:00:00" I would expect 100+ photos to be returned (as all my photos are taken after 2000) but the result I get is zero photos returned.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Am I formatting the dates in the correct way? Any other ideas as to the solution to the problem?
Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Make sure you set BOTH the upper and lower limits when using dates. I.E. if you set min_taken_date, set also max_taken_date
That said, I haven't tested it yet so off I go to check it :-)

I have tried setting both the upper and lower limits but I still get the same response (no photos returned when I expected 100+).

You're right, it's not working. I have tried lots of combinations, with or w/out the filters, extras, per_page, etc. and all I get is an empty list.

I've also found the date filters to not work (working from my own Python api code.) I've also found the page-by-page support to not work, once you try to scale. However, I've yet to see any comments on these long-standing problems here from anyone actually working for flickr - the yahoo group gets more attention, you might try again there.

Thanks Mark and Luis. At least it's not me going (completely) mad.
I've had a quick snoop around the Yahoo group but couldn't find anything solving this problem so I may post there later if there is no resolution here.
