# Simple Flickr folder uploader

# Inspired in https://github.com/sybrenstuvel/flickrapi and https://github.com/jamesmstone/flickr-uploadr

# Get an api key and an api secret: https://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply
# Put those values in these variables

# Start this script. First time it shows an URL. Open it with your browser and authorize the script.

# Once authorized, script will store a token in user home directory. Change it if desired:
