title: How to reduce image size from the Flickr API using Python?
body: <p>I am using google app engine python to build an app that gets pictures from the Flickr API. I am using two APIs; one that returns the most recent pictures posted and another that returns pictures based on searches. Because I am displaying 50 pictures from the first api (automatically loaded on page load) and another 100 pictures when users perform a search, the page takes forever to load every time I perform a search. I would like to know if there is a way to select only pictures of a certain size (say, less than 200k) when parsing the data from the API. The objects that Flickr provide don't have information about image size so I cannot parse the data based on the object info. Here is an example of the object:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>  {photos: 
        {page: 1,pages: 198413,perpage: 100,total: "19841218",
            photo:[
                    {id:"14236785916",
                     owner: "53858541@N05",
                     secret: "ef9e745ba4",
                     server: "5591",
                     farm:6,
                     title: "bright",
                     ispublic: 1,
                     isfriend: 0,
                     isfamily: 0}
                   ]
        }
    }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I wanted to know if there is any other method. I want to keep the number of pictures I have now.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
