# Flickr EXIF API

A photo’s camera and EXIF tags, with location and identifying tags removed before return.

`GET /v1/flickr/photos/{photoId}/exif` returns `data.photoId`, `data.camera`, `data.exif` and `data.filtered`. Each EXIF entry carries `tagspace`, `tagspaceId`, `tag`, `label` and `value`. GPS, serial-number and owner or copyright tags are removed before the tags are returned, and `filtered` names the categories that were removed (`gps`, `serial`, `owner`).

If the owner hides EXIF, the route returns `lookupStatus: hidden` with an empty tag list rather than an outage. An unknown photo returns `not_found`.

## FAQ

### Does it return GPS coordinates?

No. GPS tags are removed and the response’s filtered array includes gps when they were present. The photo route returns geo only when the owner published a location on the photo.

### What does camera contain?

The camera name the record gives, for example a body model. It is null when the record does not name one.

### How much does an EXIF lookup 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.

### What does hidden mean?

The owner hides EXIF for this photo. The photo may still be public; this route just cannot return its tags.
