Flickr Screencast not working

Rails
1

ok I am sure we’ve all tried to get the flickr screencast from the main
ruby on rails site working. I followed along and tried to get it up
and got nothing…

When i hit search i get an error message saying “Invalid API Key (Key
has expired)”. I’ve searched all over the internet trying to look for
the answer to this problem with no luck. Any help you can offer would
be appreciated…

the flickr gem is fine. you need to get your own API key to replace
the expired one which is hardcoded into the flickr.rb file. They don’t
call it “simple” for nothing.

http://www.flickr.com/services/api/keys/apply/

The flickr.rb file should be located in the following or similar folder

lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/flickr-1.0.0/

Flickr Login

The flickr.rb file should be located in the following or similar folder

lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/flickr-1.0.0/

I change my API key in that file and now works perfectly

thanks
