jQuery $.getJSON - How do I parse a flickr.photos.search REST API call?

Question

Trying to adapt the $.getJSON Flickr example:

$.getJSON(\"http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=cat&tagmode=any&format=json&jso         


        

Answer 1

The jQuery API documentation for jQuery.getJSON() has a helpful example here: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.getjson/

The documentation provides a complete file as an example of how to parse the API call; it loads the four most recent pictures of Mount Rainier from the Flickr JSONP API. I'll reprint the file here as additional context that might be helpful, particularly for those new to using API's.
