GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}/tags1 credit Failed requests are free
About this endpoint
GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}/tags returns data.tags, a list of the tag names the person has used. The route accepts an NSID or a path alias and returns the whole public list in one response.
Use it to build a tag profile for a photographer, then read a tag page with GET /v1/flickr/tags/{tag}/photos or search that person’s photos. A person with no public tags returns found with an empty list; an unknown person returns not_found.
Flickr User Tags API FAQ
Does it include tag counts?
No. The public list gives tag names. The tag pages and photo search report the photos that use a tag.
Can I page the tag list?
No. It is one list in one response.
How much does the tag 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.
What order are the tags in?
The order the public record gives them. Sort the list yourself if you need a stable display order.
