# Connecting a Flickr feed

The **Flickr feed provider** in **PADS4** allows you to **retrieve images** from **Flickr**, an online photo-sharing platform.

***

## **Steps to Add/Modify a Flickr Feed Connection in PADS4**

### **1. Start the Data Provider Wizard**

* Open the **Data Provider Wizard** by following the instructions in **Adding a Data Provider** or **Editing a Data Provider**.
* Select **Flickr Feed** as the **provider type**.

### **2. Specify Flickr Search Arguments**

* Enter the **Flickr search terms** to **retrieve images** matching specific keywords.
* You can filter images based on:
  * **Tags** (keywords to find relevant photos).
  * **User ID** (retrieve images from a specific Flickr user).
  * **Date range** (filter photos by upload date).
  * **Sort order** (most recent, most relevant, etc.).
* Click **Next** to continue.

### **3. Complete the Wizard**

* Click **Finish** to finalize the **Flickr feed data provider**.
* The **PADS4 Viewer** will retrieve and display **Flickr images** in real-time.

## **Important Considerations**

* **Data Server Access:**
  * If using a **PADS4 Data Server**, ensure that **Flickr is accessible** from the **server's point of view**.
