Flickr API WordPress Plugin
A comprehensive Flickr plugin that makes it easy to show off your images in style.
The Flickr API plugin provides tools for displaying your flickr galleries, sets, photostream or favourites and more using a shortcode in posts and pages or as a widget. You can choose the size of image you want, whether it should be linked to another image size or back to flickr or not linked at all, how many images to show and more...
There are some built in options for displaying your images as a simple slideshow or using the Galleria jquery plugin. Alternatively you can choose to style the output yourself and use your own javascript.
For developers the plugin also gives you an easy method for calling and caching API responses both in PHP and javascript, and lots of useful tools for working with those responses.
