[flickr][error] NotFoundError: Requested album could not be found

[rudolphos]

That album doesn't exist. Or you might need to login to see it, in that case you need to use OAuth authorization in gallery-dl flags.

You get a 403 error when not signed in, and then a 404 when signed in without permission to view this album, it seems:

403
You need to be signed in to see this

It appears you don’t have permission to view this album.

To "login", use gallery-dl oauth:flickr. Maybe you can access it afterwards.

got this issue too.
i think its because gallery-dl had not been added with the ability to parse flickr guess pass link.

having the [flickr][error] NotFoundError: Requested album could not be foundissue as well. the gallery appears to be public but doesn't show up on the user's main page. i set up oauth but the same issue persists. any help is greatly appreciated.

the album url is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29956195@N08/albums/72157616593453778/

the album url is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/29956195@N08/albums/72157616593453778/

Downloads with and without any OAuth tokens for me.

curious - it's working here now as well. i did message the user about album permissions but maybe it was just user error. thanks for the reply.

The photosets_getInfo endpoint reports that this album does not exist and photosets_getList doesn't list it either, but it is still possible to download its photos via photosets_getPhotos when ignoring these errors.
