Project 4, Part 3 / C: Flickr and GitHub Collaboration

Signup for flickr API key: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/
- For this exercise, since we have provided the cache_file.json, you can put some random characters as FLICKR_API_KEY
Create config.py based on data/config_template.py, and set the FLICKR_API_KEY
Run flickr.py
The output: "Mastering the dust by 126799981@N03" does not have the owner's username, but their ID number from Flickr's database
Start a new development branch

Modify the function search_flickr_by_tags to search_flickr, and make the code more general purpose, such that it can use (15 mins):

  ...
  "method": "flickr.photos.search",
  "tags": tags,
  "per_page": 10,
  ...

    ...
    "method": "flickr.photos.getInfo",
    "photo_id": photo_id,
    ...

Once 15 mins are up, commit and push to your fork whatever code you have in your development branch
On github, create a pull request from your development branch into your master branch, but DON'T merge
Start a collaborative conversation with another person in the room, who is not sitting besides you
- Get their Github username
- Mention them in your pull request's comments section on the lines of: "@anandpdoshi I have started modifying flickr_search function. Do you think I am on the right track? Can you see any flaws in it?"
- You will answer to another person's request for help by reviewing their pull request at this stage
- Using github, comment on at least 1 line of their code
- Write a brief summary of your thoughts about their code in the pull request's comment thread
- You can also exchange ideas about how to work on it
- Similarly, you will get feedback on your own pull request
- DON'T close / merge this pull request
Use (or not) this feedback and continue writing code for flickr_search
Load the owner's username into owner_username and update the __str__ method to reflect that
Once done, push your new changes to the same branch. Check your open pull request, and you will see that your new commits get added to the same pull request.
Now you can ask for more feedback from your peer group if you want
Submit the link to this pull request as part 3 of Project 4
