Problem with OAuth and the FlickrMiner

[elliottd]

I created an API key for an application in my Flickr account:

I configured the miner.yaml with the API key and Secret.

I created a directory to save the data output and created a query file with the following contents:

dog cat horse

I tried to run the Flickr miner using this command: python miner.py flickr query.txt output. The program asked me to obtain authentication from Flickr:

I authorized this action but I was redirected to the following page:

Nonetheless, I tried copying the URL into the application but it did not succeed:

Do you know what might be going wrong here?

Hi,

Thank you for reporting this issue!

I ran the application with the same query file, but I couldn't reproduce the error so far. I get the 'Page Not Found' message too (which is not nice though) but the URL works after pasting it.

Could you please rerun the program after replacing the file mmfeat/mmfeat/miner/flickr.py with this one: https://gist.github.com/anitavero/8bd471cc75db84aa1aca5a7f22c7b073 and send me the printed error message in case the error occurs again?

Also it is probably worthwhile to retry the authentication after removing 'oauth.pkl', in case it has been saved.

Thanks a lot!

Anita

@anitavero I replaced the flickr.py file and removed the oauth.pkl file. Now I get a new error:
