raise FlickrError

[infrontofme]

Hi, when I run following script:

python flickr_scraper.py --search 'honeybees on flowers' --n 10 --download

an error occurred.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "flickr_scraper.py", line 68, in <module>
    download=opt.download)  # download images
  File "flickr_scraper.py", line 33, in get_urls

    raise FlickrError(six.u('Error: %(code)s: %(msg)s') % err.attrib, code=code)
flickrapi.exceptions.FlickrError: Error: 100: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)

I tried both on windows and ubuntu, reports the same error

:)

did you embed your api and secret key to the flicker_scraper.py

@infrontofme @berkantay you need to use your own API key, as the README explains:

Use

1. Request a Flickr API key: https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply

2. Write your API key and secret in flickr_scraper.py L11-L12:

key = ''
secret = ''
