Note: I searched for current (since 8/1) Bug Reports mentioning “Flickr” and could find none. This has only been failing for me today. It was working fine as recently as Monday. Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this info…

RESOLVED AS OF TODAY! I noticed that uploads were again working this morning. Flickr Support confirmed this in an email I received this afternoon: We’ve worked with our engineers to get to the source of the problem on our side and the uploads should now be working again. We do recommend adding …

This started yesterday and we’re investigating it, I’m sorry it’s affecting you. We believe it’s something on Flickr’s end. What’s weird is that some photos can be imported, at least in my testing. This photo of mine is imported consistently, whereas this one consistently results in a whale shark e…

I haven’t been able to import any photos at all from Flickr since the 8/8. All looks good until I try the final upload step, then I end up with the Whale Shark. (Chrome on Mac)

This has also been reported on the Flickr Help Forum . Maybe if more of us enter our experience with this problem there, it will start to get some attention from Flickr. I don’t know where in Flickr we can enter a more formal “bug report”.

[image] tiwane: Github issue here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/3835 Thank you! Tracking there. As a former professional developer, I appreciate being able to see the problem isolation effort and low-level API responses.

I opened a ticket at flickrhelp.com : Subject : Flickr API fails with 429 Too Many Requests on iNaturalist request Description This problem is reported and described in the Flickr Help Forum . iNaturalist is tracking it on their end with a GitHub Issue . That has technical details of how their API…

[image] xris: click the Import Photos button I tried a different route to see if there any difference. As expected, same failure. I assume the backend Flickr API calls are the same, or nearly so, regardless of where in the UI the request originates. Uploaded an Observation with 3 photos fro…

I just tried again importing 2 photos from Flickr to create a single new Observation . It failed. I clicked the browser back button to return to the Upload page (which loses any edits I made, such as adding other photos). 4 attempts failed with Fail Whale Shark. The 5th attempt unexpectedly succeeded…

Hello, We are really sorry for the situation. We also contacted Flickr support yesterday, but didn’t get a reply yet. We are pretty sure they are “simply” banning our IP range (20.x.x.x). About your scenario, the fact is we have currently 7 servers handling the observation creation. 6 are in 20…

I have the same issue - not been able to upload anything via flickr since 8th of August. About 10 attempts made. Can anybody advise if this is likely to be a long term issue or permanent. Will submit complaint to flickr today. Thanks
