How To Get RSS Feeds of Flickr Photo-sets

I thought this might come in handy someday, a way to pull in an RSS feed from a Flickr photo set.

clipped from ben-ward.co.uk By design, Flickr does not provide XML feeds of photosets. Photosets can be non-chronological, so a feed doesn’t always make sense. That said, oftentimes a photoset is chronological and a feed would be a useful. My Abridged set works this way. At Hack Day London I put together a little script that will convert a set into a feed, and after gigantic delay, I’ve finally documented it and put it live at Flickr.Ben-Ward.co.uk. For example, to produce a feed of 20 items from the Abridged set: http://flickr.ben-ward.co.uk/sets/feed/72157594435188323/ You can use additional segments of the URL to alter the number of feed items and the sort order, for example: http://flickr.ben-ward.co.uk/sets/feed/72157594435188323/40 http://flickr.ben-ward.co.uk/sets/feed/72157594435188323/25/asc http://flickr.ben-ward.co.uk/sets/feed/72157594435188323/25/desc Hopefully this will useful, perhaps especially to those using Flickr in Pipes.
