Here’s a quick post on a simple way to get data from Flickr’s API using jQuery. $.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photosets.getPhotos&api_key=[[your api key]]&photoset_id=[[your photoset id]]&format=json&jsoncallback=?", function(data) { console.log(data); //prints the data object to the console in a web developer tool like firebug ); });
