  • api_secret

    String. required

    A valid Flickr Auth API secret key.

  • auth_token

    String. required

    A valid Flickr Auth API token.

PACKAGE METHODS

__PACKAGE__->new($cfg)

Where $cfg is either a valid Config::Simple object or the path to a file that can be parsed by Config::Simple.

Returns a Net::Flickr::RDF object.
