# Flickr

Flickr searches public photos on Flickr. Some works can be reused under Creative Commons or public-domain style licences. **No API key is required.**

**Free.** Available on the Free plan.

Source badge: **Photos**.

**Gutenberg:** yes. Enable it as a search tab on **Magic Post Thumbnail → Gutenberg Block**. API keys and filters stay on Source.

## Open the bank in Source

In version 7, banks are configured from **Magic Post Thumbnail → Source**. Click the bank in the left column (or tick it to add it to the chain), then click **Configure**. The **Banks Settings** panel opens on the right. Save when you are done.

The left column is the **Automatic generation chain** used by the editor button, bulk generation, cron and imports. Drag to set priority: the first bank is tried first. Unchecked banks sit below the chain.
