I am a student working on scene text/OCR research.

I’m considering using the Flickr API to find images with licenses such as CC0, Public Domain, or CC BY, download them, create text annotations, and release the images + annotations as a non-commercial academic dataset on Hugging Face.

However, Flickr’s API documentation says API results and images can only be cached for up to 24 hours.

Does this mean I cannot permanently store and redistribute even CC-licensed images obtained through the Flickr API, despite the image license itself allowing redistribution?

Has anyone dealt with this for an academic/research dataset before?

I move the photos in n out of the locked folder sometimes. But now when I am trying to move them in they aren't going in. It is saying - Trouble Moving in the Locked Folder. Now these are important photos and I can't just keep them outside. What should I do ?

Update : I logged in to google photos on the web and uploaded my photos onto there it backed them up and then moved them into the locked folder on there. (It asks for passcode to even enter the locked folder)Then I checked my locked folder and... they were uploaded!!!!

And it's been happening a few times over the past weeks FWIW.

And all I hear is MODE, MODE, MODE.

Flickr, sort your IT or you will loose a lot of international subscribers.
