Description:

Hello, using the OAuth1 procedure to get authenticated with flickr. Works until the actual photo upload proceeds.
Flickr response with the error Message: No Photo Specified. I'm providing a jpeg image.

Here's my code.

    oAuthSwift = OAuth1Swift(consumerKey: flickr.apiKey,
                             consumerSecret: flickr.apiSecret,
                             requestTokenUrl: "https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/request_token",
                             authorizeUrl: "https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/authorize",
                             accessTokenUrl: "https://www.flickr.com/services/oauth/access_token")
    
    if oAuthSwift != nil {
        oAuthSwift?.authorizeURLHandler = SafariURLHandler(viewController: self, oauthSwift: oAuthSwift!)
        
        guard let rwURL = URL(string: "iflickr://oauth-callback/iflickr") else {
            return
        }
        //            let handle = oAuthSwift!.authorize(withCallbackURL: rwURL, headers: headers) { [unowned self] result in
        let handle = oAuthSwift!.authorize( withCallbackURL: rwURL) { [unowned self] result in
            switch result {
            case .success(let (credential, response, parameters)):
                print(credential.oauthToken)
                print(credential.oauthTokenSecret)
                
                guard let img = self.image?.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.0) else {
                    print ("cant convert image")
                    return
                }
                var params = parameters
      //        params["photo"] = img
                self.oAuthSwift!.client.postImage(flickr.uploadEndpoint, parameters: params, image: img) { upResult in
                    switch upResult {
                    case .failure(let error):

                        if let string = response.string {
                            print ("\nRESULT:\n      - \(string)\n")
                        }
                    }
                }
            // Do your request

Hey,

i found the problem.

The flickr upload API requests the parameter for the actual photo data named "photo" instead of "media", which was provided.
github.com/OAuthSwift/OAuthSwift@b8941a23d1/Sources/OAuthSwiftClient.swift (L125)

I just changed that and everything works like a charm.
Thank you!
