Photo Source URLs
You can construct the source URL to a photo once you know its ID, server ID, farm ID and secret, as returned by many API methods.
The URL takes the following format:
- https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
- https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}_[mstzb].jpg
- https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{o-secret}_o.(jpg|gif|png)
-
- Before November 18th, 2011 the API returned image URLs with hostnames like: "farm{farm-id}.static.flickr.com". Those URLs are still supported.
![https://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}_[mstzb].jpg](https://farm%7Bfarm-id%7D.staticflickr.com/%7Bserver-id%7D/%7Bid%7D_%7Bsecret%7D_%5Bmstzb%5D.jpg){kind=link}
Size Suffixes
The letter suffixes are as follows:
s small square 75x75 q large square 150x150 t thumbnail, 100 on longest side m small, 240 on longest side n small, 320 on longest side
- medium, 500 on longest side z medium 640, 640 on longest side c medium 800, 800 on longest side† b large, 1024 on longest side* h large 1600, 1600 on longest side† k large 2048, 2048 on longest side† o original image, either a jpg, gif or png, depending on source format
- Before May 25th 2010 large photos only exist for very large original images.
† Medium 800, large 1600, and large 2048 photos only exist after March 1st 2012.
Note: Original photos behave a little differently. They have their own secret (called originalsecret in responses) and a variable file extension (called originalformat in responses). These values are returned via the API only when the caller has permission to view the original size (based on a user preference and various other criteria). The values are returned by the flickr.photos.getInfo method and by any method that returns a list of photos and allows an extras parameter (with a value of original_format), such as flickr.photos.search. The flickr.photos.getSizes method, as always, will return the full original URL where permissions allow.
