GET /v1/flickr/tags/trending1 credit Failed requests are free
About this endpoint
GET /v1/flickr/tags/trending returns data.period and data.tags. Pass period as week (the default), day or all_time. Each tag carries name and, when Flickr features one, a sample photo with the usual photo record fields.
This is a single list rather than a paged collection, so there is no cursor. Use it to seed tag pages or to see what is rising before you pull GET /v1/flickr/tags/{tag}/photos.
Flickr Trending Tags API FAQ
What periods are available?
week, day and all_time. The default is week.
Is a sample photo always included?
No. tags[].photo is null when the page does not show a sample for that tag.
How much does the trending list 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.
Does it page?
No. It returns the current tag list in one response. Use the tag photos route to page through the photos for a tag.
