Increasing number of photos displayed from Flickr

Question

I am currently pulling in the Flickr geofeed into my map, based on this sample: Flickr data as graphics on a map | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.17. It is working beautifully.

Right now, I only see 20 photos on my map. I have 65 geotagged photos in the feed (single user's photos) that I'm pulling. I also limit what I am pulling by using tags. The default number of photos to show looks to be 20, but I'm guessing there is a way I can increase that number. I haven't been able to find how to do that though. Has anyone else run into this and how did you resolve it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ashley,

Thanks for sharing.

I know it isn't the same thing but you can add a much larger number of photos from Flickr to a story map, using an out-of-the-box template:

Using Flickr photos in the hosted map tour story map | ArcGIS Blog

I've done this a few times and it works really well.

Adrian,

I've tried a multitude of things at this point. The issue is that Flickr limits their feeds to the 20 most recently geotagged/tagged photos. It looks like you can increase the number from 20, but I really think it will require me using the Flickr API. The sample I mentioned previously I was able to pretty much drop straight into my code. Here's what that section looks like for me now:

//Add Flickr photos
mapMain.on("load", loadPhotos);

I updated the code from the sample and added in the scale to control when the Flickr icons are visible. This works, but only shows 20 photos. I have 65 that need to be visible.

Hope this helps.

Kelly,

Thanks for the information. I've looked into Yahoo Pipes, and that is no longer an option. Yahoo did away with that in September 2015. I'll check out the template you mention that uses the Flickr API to see if that gets me any closer to a solution.
