SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Flicker POTD doesn't get updated since 9/29. OBSERVED RESULT Test current api_key 11829a470557ad8e10b02e80afacb3af in https://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/flickr.interestingness.getList, it will respond: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <rsp stat="fail"> <err code="100" msg="Invalid API Key (Key not found)" /> </rsp> Test with another api_key requested in personal account, the api will return successfully. EXPECTED RESULT Flicker POTD works with correct api_key. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: plasma-desktop 5.19.5-1 KDE Frameworks Version: plasma-framework 5.75.0-1 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION kdeplasma-addons 5.19.5-1
Maybe I will check if here are other ways to fetch the picture without API key. We cannot be sure if the key expired or get banned by flickr...

In that page we can parse the URL of pictures. But the size is very small. It is more complex to get a 1080p+ size image.

Not just get the thumbnail version. From the interesting calendar, you direct get a _s version picture, plus a href to the album page of that picture, let say this one: <td class="FullDay" id="20201012"><a href="/explore/interesting/2020/10/12/" title="Zoom into October 12th 2020" onclick="intrestpop_show('20201012', 'October 12th 2020'); return false;"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50460505761_882f80f43f_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" class="Thumb" alt="Zoom into October 12th 2020" /></a> <div class="BlackDate">12</div> <div class="WhiteDate">12</div> </td> The small image for 10/12 is 50460505761_882f80f43f_s.jpg. You can find the album URL of this page here: intrestpop_HASH['20201012'] = [ {thumb:'https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50460505761_882f80f43f_s.jpg', page:'/photos/86832534@N03/50460505761/'}, Thanks to well-formatted flickr image url: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.urls.html you can go to the album page now and get any size of the picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/86832534@N03/50460505761/sizes/l/

Fixed for now by changing the API key. Since this keeps happening, we are going to try to fix it in a more generic way in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kdeplasma-addons/-/merge_requests/35.
