Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.

Errors and billing

401

Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.

422

Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.

402

Insufficient balance. Top up first.

429

Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.

503

Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.

200 empty

The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Official references

Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.

• Flickr: Sorting by Date Taken Versus Date Posted ↗

  Flickr documentation differentiates sorting by date-taken from date-posted. While this clarifies time semantics, the default values, supported parameters, and maximum result limits of this endpoint strictly follow the EveryInfra contract rather than mirroring all official API capabilities.

• Flickr: Media Type is Distinct from Content Licensing ↗

  Flickr explicitly separates media type definitions from license classifications. EveryInfra currently provides the `media_type` parameter but does not expose official license parameters. Retrieving a photo or video through search does not grant usage rights to that asset.
