Constructor Details

#initialize(method, additional_parameters = {}) ⇒ MethodRequest

Create a new request for the specified API method and pass along any additional parameters. The Flickr API uses namespacing for its methods - this is optional when calling this method.

This must be called after initializing the library with the required API key see (#Fleakr.api_key=)

The additional_parameters is a list of parameters to pass directly to the Flickr API call. The exception to this is the :authenticate? option that will force the call to not be authenticated if it is set to false (The default behavior is to authenticate all calls when we have a token).
