flickr2google

This script is designed to migrate all your Flickr sets to Google albums.
It handles resuming if the script is stopped or exits, by storing processed photos in albums/[photoset_id].json.

Requirements

You need Node.js

Setup

Clone this repository, cd into it, and install its dependencies by typing npm i.

Then create a .env file based on example.env (cp {example,}.env), and edit it:

• To set the FLICKR_APP_* values, create a Flickr app as a Mobile Application with Read permissions
• To set the GOOGLE_CLIENT_* values, enable the Google Photos API and allow https://antoinerousseau.github.io/flickr2google/ as a callback URL in your API credentials

Run

./start.js

Daemonize

You can use PM2

pm2 start start.js --name flickr2google

Limitations

• This script does not handle videos (yet)
• If your Google storage is limited and you hit the limit, the Google API will return a “Bad Request”. You must then either buy more storage, or go to your Google Photos settings, choose “High Quality” and click “Recover storage”. This will convert your uploads to 16 Megapixels compressed photos, which the API cannot do on the fly. Also, you can only convert once per day.
