Flickr sources – Adding and troubleshooting

Add a Flickr user or a single Flickr album to your Juicer feed, including the asterisk prefix Juicer needs for albums.

Written by Mario T.

You can show public Flickr content in your Juicer feed in two ways, photos from a specific user, or photos from a single public album. Both go through the same source form, but albums use a slightly different format.

Requirements

  • Only public content is supported. Private photos and albums with any privacy restriction will not appear.

  • The username or album ID must come from the official Flickr URL.

Add a Flickr user

  1. Open the Flickr profile you want to display, for example https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore.

  2. Copy the username from the URL. In the example above, the username is nasa2explore.

  3. On your feed dashboard, click + Add source and select Flickr.

  4. Paste either the username (nasa2explore) or the full profile URL (https://www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2explore) into the source field.

  5. Save. Juicer will start importing the user's public photos.

Add a Flickr album

⚠️ Important: Flickr albums must be entered with a leading asterisk (*). A bare album ID, or the full album URL, will not be recognized as an album.

  1. Copy the album ID from the URL. In the example above, the album ID is 72177720329242392.

  2. On your feed dashboard, click + Add source and select Flickr.

  3. Paste the album ID into the source field with an asterisk in front of it, like *72177720329242392.

  4. Save. Juicer will import photos from that album, provided the album is publicly accessible.

Troubleshooting

If your Flickr source isn't showing content, check the following.

  • The user or album is set to Public on Flickr.

  • The username or album ID matches the Flickr URL exactly.

  • For an album source, the value starts with an asterisk (*).

  • The page loads in an incognito window without prompting to log in.

  • Privacy changes can take a little while to propagate on Flickr's side, so wait a few minutes after toggling and refresh your Juicer feed.

  • If the issue persists, remove the source from your feed and add it again.

If your Flickr source still isn't pulling in photos, contact us with your feed name, the Flickr profile or album URL involved, and the exact value you entered in the source field, and we'll take a look.
