In this example I will use two new features of Slickr Flickr 1.14 that allow more than 20 photos to be displayed from a Fiickr Group
- api_key (entered in Slickr Flickr Admin Settings)
- search = “group” (added as new attribute)
- Go to Slickr Admin Settings and enter and Save your Slickr Flickr API Key
- View the group on Flickr and then copy its URL from the address bar
- Paste the URL in to the http://idgettr.com page to obtain the Flickr Group ID
- Use the Slickr Flickr command with the parameters search search=”groups” id=”Flickr Group Id goes here” items=”50″
Here is an example where we have a gallery of 70 photos.
Limitations
Right now the Flickr Id API limits you to 50 items for each fetch. If users would like to fetch more let me know and I can make multiple fetches and return the all the photos.
In release 1.14 Slickr Flickr ignores the tag when fetching from a group. In the next release I will add filtering by tag

Gill,
You would need her Flickr login and password to obtain her API key.

Hi Russell.
I have created a website for an artist client, so that she can upload images of her work on Flickr and they will automatically appear on her webite using your great app.
She now has more than 20 images in one set, and I understand that to display them using Slickr Flickr I need to use her Flickr API Key. Can you please tell me how to obtain that? I know you have provided a link, but that only seems to show how to obtain an API key of my own account, not hers.
