NAME

Net::Flickr::Backup - OOP for backing up your Flickr photos locally

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::Flickr::Backup;
    use Log::Dispatch::Screen;
    
    my $flickr = Net::Flickr::Backup->new("/path/to/backup.cfg");

    my $feedback = Log::Dispatch::Screen->new('name'      => 'info',
					      'min_level' => 'info');

    $flickr->log()->add($feedback);
    $flickr->backup();

DESCRIPTION

OOP for backing up your Flickr photos locally.

OPTIONS

Options are passed to Net::Flickr::Backup using a Config::Simple object or a valid Config::Simple config file. Options are grouped by "block".

flick

  • api_key

    String. required

    A valid Flickr API key.

  • api_secret

    String. required

    A valid Flickr Auth API secret key.

  • auth_token

    String. required

    A valid Flickr Auth API token.

backup

  • photos_root

    String. required

    The root folder where you want photographs to be stored. Individual files are named using the following pattern :

    B<photos_root>/B<YYYY>/B<MM>/B<DD>/B<YYYYMMDD>-B<photo_id>-B<clean_title>_B<size>.jpg

    Where the various components are :

    • YYYYMMDD

      photo[@id=123]/dates/@taken

    • photo_id

      photo/@id

    • clean_title

      photo[@id=123]/title

      Unicode characters translated in to ASCII (using Text::Unidecode) and the entire string is stripped anything that is not an alphanumeric, underbar, dash or a square bracket.

    • size

      Net::Flickr::Backup will attempt to fetch not only the original file uploaded to Flickr but also, depending on your config options, the medium and square versions. Filenames will be modified as follows :

      • original

        The original photo you uploaded to the Flickr servers. No extension is added.

      • medium

        These photos are scaled to 500 pixels at the longest dimension. A _m extension is added.

      • square

        These photos are to cropped to 75 x 75 pixels at the center. A _s extension is added.

  • fetch_medium

    Boolean.

    Retrieve the "medium" version of a photo from the Flickr servers; these photos have been scaled to 500 pixels at the longest dimension.

    Default is false.

  • fetch_square

    Boolean.

    Retrieve the "square" version of a photo from the Flickr servers; these photos have been cropped to 75 x 75 pixels at the center.

    Default is false.

  • scrub_backups

    Boolean.

    If true then, for each Flickr photo ID backed up, the library will check backup.photos_root for images (and metadata files) with a matching ID but a different name. Matches will be deleted.

  • force

    Boolean.

    Force a photograph to be backed up even if it has not changed.

    Default is false.

rdf

  • do_dump

    Boolean.

    Generate an RDF description for each photograph. Descriptions are written to disk in separate files.

    Default is false.

  • rdfdump_root

    String.

    The path where RDF data dumps for a photo should be written. The default is the same path as backup.photos_root.

    File names are generated with the same pattern used to name photographs.

  • photos_alias

    String.

    If defined this string is applied as regular expression substitution to backup.photos_root.

    Default is to append the file:/ URI protocol to a path.

Any valid parameter that can be passed to the flickr.photos.search method except 'user_id' which is pre-filled with the user_id that corresponds to the flickr.auth_token token.

PACKAGE METHODS

__PACKAGE__->new($cfg)

Returns a Net::Flickr::Backup object.

$obj->log()

Returns a Log::Dispatch object.

$obj->backup()

Returns true or false.

RDF

This is an example of an RDF dump for a photograph backed up from Flickr :
