About this endpoint
GET /v1/flickr/groups/{groupId}/photos returns data.group (a summary) and a page of data.photos from the group pool. Each photo is a full record with owner, sizes, counts, dates, tags and geo. The route accepts a group NSID or path alias.
A pool can be much larger than one page, so use limit and page.nextCursor. partial is true when the pool has more items than this route can reach, and page.reachableItems says how many are reachable. A member-only pool returns lookupStatus: private; an unknown group returns not_found.
Flickr Group Pool API FAQ
What is the partial flag?
It is true when the pool exceeds the cap of 10,000 items. The page you received is still valid; the rest is not reachable through this route.
What does private mean for a pool?
The group is member-only, so its pool is not public. Check lookupStatus before treating the empty photos list as a real empty pool.
How much does a pool 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.
Can I filter the pool?
No. This route returns the pool as the group orders it. Use the photo search route with a userId filter if you need a filtered slice of one photographer.
