# Flickr

## Connect

1. Request an API key at [flickr.com/services/api/misc.api\_keys.html](https://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html) (a non-commercial key is enough for public data; no secret is needed).
2. Settings → Social Feeds → **Flickr** → **+ Connect**, paste the key, choose the source, paste the URL, Save Changes.
