Introduction
flickr-rest is a stab at removing all the stuff that you don't really want to do. There are no specific photo methods, community. Nothing.
Simply use it to query the bits you want. If you want a flickr api wrapper, use the flickr gem.
Usage
require 'flickr-rest'
My API key has been set as the default. Flickr probably won't like that.
Flickr::Query::API_KEY = 'your-api-key-here' flickr = Flickr::Query.new 'your-user-id-here'
flickr.execute('flickr.test.echo')
=> #<Hpricot::Doc{} snip
Then use simple Hpricot selectors to traverse through the tree.
