About this endpoint

GET /v1/flickr/photos/latest returns data.title, data.link, data.modified and data.items, the newest 20 public uploads that match the filters. Each item carries title, link, imageUrl, dateTaken, published, authorName, authorId, tags and description as HTML, with the posted a photo: line removed.

dateTaken is the owner-local time without a zone; the feed's printed offset is not a real time zone. published is UTC. The feed takes space- or comma-separated tags with tagMode (default all), one or more userId NSIDs, and a language code. It does not accept a path alias in userId, and the result is fixed at 20 items rather than paged. An unknown NSID returns lookupStatus: not_found.

Flickr Latest Uploads API FAQ

Why is userId an NSID only?

The public feed accepts numeric NSIDs such as 8623220@N02 and rejects path aliases. Resolve an alias first with GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}.

Can I filter by more than one tag?

Yes. Pass tags and set tagMode to all or any to control whether every tag or any tag must match.

How much does the latest feed 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.

Why are there always 20 items?

The public feed is fixed at 20. For more, use GET /v1/flickr/photos/search sorted by date posted.
