We support a few of the methods of the Flickr API to help developers port their existing applications to Jamendo easily.

If you are starting a new project, please consider using our own APIs as they expose data from Jamendo more accurately.

Differences with the Flickr API

• The endpoint changes from http://api.flickr.com to http://apiflickr.jamendo.com
• We don't support SOAP yet. Please use XMLRPC or REST. (All the return formats except SOAP are supported)
• API keys/secrets are not needed for read-only access of public data. For these calls we won't check the api_key or api_sig parameters at all.
• "photos" translate to "album covers" here on Jamendo.
• URLs are built differently from http://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html :
  • album covers => ...
  • album urls => ...

Supported methods

• flickr.test.echo

More coming soon! Please tell us on the Developer forum if you would like some other methods made available.

Sample calls
