On the Images markup examples page I explain how to use the reStructuredText image directive to include images hosted on a remote server. Flickr2rst automatically generates the markup for images hosted at Flickr. The script takes a Flickr photo-id as an argument. If no argument is given a default photo-id is used. See http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html for information about the Flickr photo-id.
Usage: <flickr2rst.py> [options] [arg]
| -h, --help | show this help message and exit |
| -s | size [square, thumbnail, small (default), medium, large, orginal] |
| -a | align [left, right (default), middle] |
Example. Running python flickr2rst.py -a left -s small 2419641800 prints the following to stdout:
.. image:: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2360/2419641800_ef0169e51d_m.jpg
:height: 160px
:width: 240px
:alt: The flag of Milan
:align: left
:target: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeroenleijen/2419641800/
When I edit a reStructuredText text I run the script from inside vim like this: :r! python /path_to/flickr2rst.py [photo-id].
Flickr2rst is python script. It uses the flickrapi module. You can get it from http://stuvel.eu/flickrapi.
