In the Flickr API docs , you need to find the MD5 sum of a string to generate the [api_sig] value. How does one go about generating an MD5 sum from a string? Flickr's example: string: 000005fab4534d05api_key9a0554259914a86fb9e7eb014e4e5d52permswrite MD5 sum: a02506b31c1cd46c2e0b6380fb94eb3d Ikke For Python 2.x, use python's hashlib import hashlib m = hashlib.md5() m.update("000005fab4534d05api_key9a0554259914a86fb9e7eb014e4e5d52permswrite") print m.hexdigest() Output: a02506b31c1cd46c2e0b6380fb94eb3d Mark Longair You can do the following: Python 2.x import hashlib print hashlib.md5("whatever

I'm using the Flickr API . When calling the flickr.test.login method, the default JSON result is: { "user": { "id": "21207597@N07", "username": { "_content": "jamalfanaian" } }, "stat": "ok" } I'd like to parse this response into a Java object: public class FlickrAccount { private String id; private String username; // ... getter & setter ... } The JSON properties should be mapped like this: "user" -> "id" ==> FlickrAccount.id "user" -> "username" -> "_content" ==> FlickrAccount.username Unfortunately, I'm not able to find a nice, elegant way to do this using Annotations. My approach so far is
