Do a one-time only search for historical Flickr photos #31

Closed almccon closed 8 years ago

almccon commented 10 years ago

Really old photos (like 1899!) will never show up in our gatherer, unless we do a special search for them.

standardpixel commented 10 years ago

Might be interesting if I check in the template and reveal a special section for historic photos. Anything over 50 years old or something

standardpixel commented 10 years ago

If we ever do this we will have to make a separate table with the Flickr photo ID and not save the Flickr farm URL (which as we know now is likely to expire)

mojodna commented 10 years ago

Can you elaborate on the farm URL expiration? Rather than storing the generated / returned URL, we should store its components? Or are components (besides secret) subject to change and we should periodically ping them?

We just store the ID and than we can look up the new secret. The secret otherwise will reset every time the user changes permissions or re-uploads. We have seen this happen quite a few times since parks.stamen launched

While testing the crawler, I checked for is_commons: true (Flickr Commons photos). Only 263 that were geotagged:

Yeah, it's unlikely curators would spend the time to hand geotag photos. The majority of geotagged photos on flickr are tagged by a phone or camera automatically. The commons does not have the benefit of modern cameras.

…this is why Aaron really really wanted us to do location suggestions, so that the community could do this for the commons curators. Unfortunately, I got my hand slapped every time I tried to work on that. Product managers just don't like the idea for some reason
