Creating a Flickr Loop

Using the techniques learned in steps four through seven, we will now run through each of our keywords and use Yahoo Pipes to send the keywords to Flickr.

First, drag a new loop onto the development grid as we did in step four. Remember to link this new loop to our old one by dragging the output circle at the bottom of our Term Extractor loop to the input circle at the top of our new loop.

Next, drag the "Flickr" module from the "Sources" menu onto the box within the Loop module. This uses the same techniques we covered in step six.

Now, we will configure the Flickr module by changing "Find" from 20 to 1. After all, we don't want to see 20 images for each blog entry!

Last, we use the drop down box next to "images of" to select "item.loop:termextraction.content". This tells Yahoo! Pipes to use the keywords we extracted to find a suitable image on Flickr.
