Photo import is something I want to offer, but I need to make sure it doesn't break the terms of service of the other sites before I add it :)

I'm working out the subscription cost at the moment; I'm currently thinking around £25 per year. Does that sound reasonable? I'll very likely offer a discount to any beta users who upgrade within the first month or so too, as I'm really grateful for any and all feedback.



Most API rate limits are stated in the developer docs. By default I stay below 1 request per second and that seems to work for most APIs.

If you wait long enough we'll eventually open source our import infrastructure :).


Doh, I feel like a pillock now - didn't realise Dean was talking about openphoto.

I've not seen it before; it's a great idea. I haven't got an API yet (but it will be coming soon after beta) and I'm all about freedom of data and information, so if you fancied supporting Photographer.io as another data source in the future I'd be more than happy to help.

I've worked a bit with Flickr's API in the past and found it very reasonable, so hopefully adding support for importing from there shouldn't be too tricky.


Feel free to ping me (jaisen@{hackernewsusername}.com) to chat. I've got plenty of opinions to hand out for free.
