Hello @nzhang95120,

Thank you for providing the screenshot and additional details about the issue you're encountering. It looks like you're running into some trouble with the flickr_scraper.py script.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Verify Package Versions: Ensure that you are using the latest versions of all relevant packages. Sometimes, issues are resolved in newer releases. You can update your packages using:

   pip install --upgrade <package_name>

2. Check Dependencies: Make sure all dependencies required by the script are installed. You can usually find these in the requirements.txt file or documentation of the repository.

3. Error Logs: The error messages you provided are quite generic. If possible, try to capture more detailed error logs. This can often be done by running the script with increased verbosity or debug flags.

4. Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable, as the script needs to download images from Flickr.

5. API Keys: If the script requires API keys for accessing Flickr, ensure that they are correctly set up and have the necessary permissions.

6. Example Code: Here is a minimal example to ensure everything is set up correctly:

   import flickrapi
   import urllib.request
   import os
   
   # Replace with your own Flickr API key and secret
   api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
   api_secret = 'YOUR_API_SECRET'
   
   flickr = flickrapi.FlickrAPI(api_key, api_secret, format='parsed-json')
   query = 'honeybees on flowers'
   num_images = 10
   
   photos = flickr.photos.search(text=query, per_page=num_images, media='photos', sort='relevance')
   for i, photo in enumerate(photos['photos']['photo']):
       url = f"http://farm{photo['farm']}.staticflickr.com/{photo['server']}/{photo['id']}_{photo['secret']}.jpg"
       urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, os.path.join('downloads', f"{i}.jpg"))
       print(f"Downloaded {i+1}/{num_images}")
   
   print("Done.")

If you have verified all the above and the issue persists, please let us know with any additional error logs or details. This will help us assist you more effectively.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation! 😊
