Flickr API Photo Discovery Goes Real-time. Flickr has added more real-time goodness to their photo API. Using a publish / subscribe (PubSub) system, developers can now receive real-time updates across millions of photos across Flickr friends, Flickr Commons, and by tags and geo-location using the Flickr Real-Time API. For a while now the Flickr API has supported personal and friend photo subscriptions like this: Now you can also request real-time updates from over 50 institutions participating in the Flickr Commons including NASA, The Library of Congress, and the National Archives of the U.S. and U.K. by sending commons subscription requests to flickr.push.gettopics: In addition to Flickr Commons, Geo subscriptions are available as well. Beyond friends, and geo subscriptions, Flickr has also opened up subscriptions for any tag. With a photo archive the size of Flickr real-time discovery is important to empower developers to find what they are looking for, and keep their applications and site content fresh.
