Because sometimes you need to get pictures of kittens into your browser from the command line, fast. Usage: rflick.rb "search query" It will open the image in your browser (on OSX)

rflick.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'flickraw'

FlickRaw.api_key = "YOUR FLICKR API KEY"
FlickRaw.shared_secret = "YOUR FLICKR SHARED SECRET"

ARGV[0] ||= "kittens"

search_query = ARGV[0]

results = flickr.photos.search(:text => search_query)
n = results.count - 1
idx = Random.rand(0..n)
p = results[idx]
  
farm = p['farm']
server = p['server']
secret = p['secret']
id = p['id']
url = "http://farm#{farm}.staticflickr.com/#{server}/#{id}_#{secret}.jpg"

exec("open #{url}")
