thanks.

Try replacing env('FLICKR_KEY', '') with env('FLICKR_KEY') so there is no default of no key. Or put in your key directly in that place to see if the error lies with Flickr or Laravel or somewhere else.

Regarding caching: I suppose you can cache with Laravel's system.

Just tried both ways and still the error is the same.

Response {#601 ▼
  #contents: array:3 [▼
    "stat" => "fail"
    "code" => 100
    "message" => "Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)"
  ]
}

A quick Google search said something about a api key auth signature. I'll have to play with the issue to see what is happening when I have time. Maybe you can do too. For example with a new key, other functions and calls, etc.

Everything works for me in the way you set it up. Also after a artisan cache:clear

Hi there,

I had the same problem as @mpixelz and was dumbfounded as to what te solution should be. After some fiddling around I found it out.

The problem did not occur locally, I could only reproduce it on my server environment. The problem was that the method env('ENV_VARIABLE_NAME') does not properly work (and is not intended to work properly) outside the config files in laravel.

@mpixelz, the code you posted in this example is loading the env variable directly into your laravel code (the same way I did in my code), but you should only call the env method inside the config files and use e.g. config('app.timezone') (or in our case config('flickr.key') and create a file config/flickr.php with a key value in the array) when loading variables. This paragraph in the laravel documentation describes it in more detail: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/configuration#accessing-configuration-values

After I switched to this way of loading the flickr API key, I had no problems anymore, it had nothing to do with @Jeroen-G's excellent Flickr module (thank you btw for creating this!)

Thank you for your solution!

Any ideas for caching the requests?

Take a look at Laravel's own caching, I think you could use that. If you run into issues with that, feel free to open a new issue.
