= [wiki:ZooomrAPI Zooomr API] & Flickr Backwards Compatibility =

The Zooomr API speaks a large portion of the Flickr API and thus, is very much backwards-compatible with libraries and code that was built for Flickr.

We want to thank the Flickr Team for making such a cool API that has become most universal way to share information regarding photos and hope to build upon their work through the Zooomr API.

== Porting from Flickr to Zooomr ==

Porting is relatively simple. Zooomr's system supports both zooomr.* and flickr.* method namespaces.

=== Some Differences ===

Not a complete list by any means, but here are some things to look-out for when porting from Flickr to Zooomr.

==== Media Storage Network ====
Flickr's storage system requires that you specify a Farm and Server ID to retrieve media from their storage network. Zooomr doesn't.

==== Storage Limits ====
Flickr limits non-pro users at 200 photos and a number of megabytes a month in upload. Zooomr Doesn't -- do not worry about displaying any information about bytes remaining, etc.
