Hello everyone
I've tried using Flikr but it doesn't work.
Here is the code: 

GraphicsWindow.Show()
Pic = Flickr.GetPictureOfMoment()
GraphicsWindow.DrawResizedImage(Pic, 0, 0, 600, 400)

Can someone help me ?

    Hi @Palma Colapietro ,

    I also tried your code with Small Basic (Desktop) v1.2 but nothing was returned from Flickr object.

    Once LitDev's FixFlickr could avoid a trouble about Flickr but now FixFlickr no longer work well...

    Thanks.

    Has access to Flickr changed?

    Flickr changed access a few years ago, likely for security reasons.
    Since Small Basic Desktop is no longer maintained since version 1.2 of October 2015, the necessary adjustment for the Flickr object is missing. This should also apply to other WEB functions that have changed in the meantime.
    So there is no other option than to download the images with other programs and use them locally.
    Images can be uploaded to Q&A, but direct access via the url is not possible with Small Basic either. So here it is only possible to download it to a local directory.
    The pictures of the old forum are still directly accessible via the url.
    However, it is archived and can no longer be expanded.
