I tried to export files to Flickr on 3 different machines (Desktop and Laptop) with digikam 5.5.0 and 5.6.0 on i686 and x86_64. I think Flickr turned off the old authentication flow with frob. I found a threat at Flickr Api group: https://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157682498177221/ At least in the documentation of the Flickr-API the flickr.auth.getFrob is shown as deprecated: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.auth.getFrob.html So I can not connect to the Flickr Api.

I can't reproduce this right now due to other issues but I did see it over the weekend before my flickr installation got broken. The thread from the flickr APIs group discussion referenced in the first comment suggests flickr have turned off the deprecated mechanism with no notice.
Having solved my other problems, I can now confirm that I see this behaviour.
I believe Flickr has started using the Oauth for authentication. See here: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/auth.oauth.html
And we plan to use QOAuth2 library to perform remote web service authentification.
(In reply to caulier.gilles from comment #5) > And we plan to use QOAuth2 library to perform remote web service > authentification. Sweet, glad this is being looked at. Is there a timeline for the implementation? I will need to use an alternative in the meantime.
A lots of code need to be re-writed and tested. You need to be patient. Gilles Caulier
I had my /home drive die last evening and of course my authentication was within the config directory for DigiKam. So I tried to login today and found the same error is happening to me. I suppose Yahoo has implemented Oauth2 as of today August 3, 2017. Oh Joy. You guys have created a masterpiece of photo management and I truly appreciate your efforts. Will wait patiently for a fix.
Just the same here. I use Flickr on a regular basis, thank you for your amazing work !
