Flickr: Support for More Rich Metadata

[systwi-again]

I noticed the JSON metadata files gallery-dl generates for Flickr images are missing a few keys. The ones that are apparent to me include:

• Associated album names/URLs (e.g. 202310 Psyche Mission and https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/albums/72177720311842813)
• Flickr page URL (e.g. https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/53256331640/)
• Comments (along with whether or not commenting is disabled, which users posted which comments, comment timestamps & whether or not the commenter has a deleted profile)
• Users that have "faved" the image, as well as the quantity of "faves"
• Licensing information
• "Safety level" (e.g. Safe, Moderate, Restricted)

If these features could be added to gallery-dl I would greatly appreciate it!

All the best, and thank you regardless for this useful tool.

You can already get a few more metadata entries by using the flickr.metadata option.

Some of what you mentioned would however take at the very least 1 additional API request per photo (comments, user favs), which would slow things down considerably.

Thank you for the very swift and helpful reply! I was unaware of the flickr.metadata option and gallery-dl.conf as a whole, so I will research this further on my own. I'm not yet positive if all of the metadata entries I mentioned are included in this option (it does not appear to be so, judging from your diction), but if I am wrong this issue can be closed.

Cheers!
