About this endpoint

GET /v1/flickr/galleries/{galleryId} returns data.gallery and a page of data.photos. The gallery record carries title, description, owner, counts (photos, videos, views, comments and total), primary photo, cover images and dates. The photos are full photo records and can come from several photographers.

photosAvailable is false when the gallery metadata is present but the photo list is unavailable. In that case photos is empty and the answer is marked degraded rather than pretending the gallery has no photos. An unknown gallery returns lookupStatus: not_found.

Flickr Gallery API FAQ

What does photosAvailable false mean?

The gallery was found but its photo list was temporarily unavailable, so photos is empty. Retry later; the gallery metadata is still valid.

Can a gallery contain several photographers?

Yes. A gallery is a curated set, so each photo row carries its own owner rather than using the gallery owner for all rows.

How much does a gallery page cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.

How do I read the gallery comments?

Use GET /v1/flickr/galleries/{galleryId}/comments. It returns the comment list with authors and timestamps.
