Flickr loader: Load JSONP data from Flickr.

This is a loader for Flickr data. You probably want to use it with a URL for the Flickr Geo Feed API: http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/

The loader takes a full URL, minus the JSONP callback function.


TimeMap.init({
    datasets: [
        {
            title: "Flickr Dataset",
            type: "flickr",
            options: {
                // This is just the latest geotagged photo stream - try adding
                // an "id" or "tag" or "photoset" parameter to get what you want
                url: "http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?format=json&jsoncallback=?"
            }
        }
    ],
    // etc...
});
