如何对私人照片使用Flickr Oauth身份验证？

Question

I am curious if it is possible to authenticate a web app, only once, to access your private photosets through Flickr?

Currently any of the tutorials or ideas I have had/seen use the generic randomly generated tokens that Oauth provides. Thus meaning, I have to have the user of the web app click to authorize each and every time they want to view a specific photoset.

How do I make it so that I can use my web app to access my own Private photosets and validate only once, so that other users dont have to?

Thanks in advance.

Once a user authorizes you access to their account, flickr will send back to you an OAuth token. OAuth tokens are long lived, you can use them repeatedly until the user revokes/removes the authorization. Save them in your database and associate it the user. Note: OAuth token tokens are unique to application (domain/realm) + user.

This is where a user would typically revoke a permission.
