Missing Auth Token parameter

    Oops! There’s no <q>oauth_token</q> parameter.

    An external application has requested your login credentials and permission to perform certain actions on your behalf, but has failed to include all the required data. 

    You don’t really need to know what this means, except that you can’t use the application until this problem is fixed. (It’s a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem.)

    There are lots of applications using the Flickr API. If you are curious about this, visit the Flickr Services page to see more examples of cool stuff. Otherwise, you might like to head to your home page…

    I am guessing what you have provided is an error message when you are trying to authenticate through the Authentication page of Photonic.

    Typically, when you get this sort of an error, it is due to one of a couple of reasons:

    • You could have a typo in your API key or API secret – make sure that the fields don’t have any leading or trailing spaces, and don’t have any hidden/bad characters. One way to verify this information is to click on the fields for the API Key and A{I Secret, and do a “Select All” for that field, paste it into a text editor, and on the text editor, set it to display hidden characters.
    • Some site configuration or a security plugin on your website stripping out security-related parameters – the oauth_token is a security parameter, which occasionally gets stripped out in this manner.

    Another basic thing to check or verify is, do you have private photos that you are trying to display? If no, then you don’t even require authentication.
