Hello Bertez,

This may not be the perfect solution but you might try investigating the flickr public api, documentation, and the myriad of tools built by third party developers on the /services/ page. There is also an api group that will more likely be able to provide answers to your more technical questions. Check out:

www.flickr.com/services/
Which has links to other resources such as:
tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/yws-flickr/
www.flickr.com/groups/api/

All the best!

Everything worked just fine.
