Number of public photos uploaded to Flickr

This dataset reports the number of photos uploaded to Flickr every day, hour by hour (CET) from 2004 to 2021. Only public photos are considered, private photos as well as other type of material (e.g. videos) are not accounted for. The count is necessarily a sub-approximation of the real count. Indeed, data acquisition started in 2017, such that photos uploaded earlier and deleted by their users are not included in the total count. We assume that this should happen very rarely, meaning that the vast majority of photos ever posted to Flickr should still be available and therefore included in the reported data. The data was acquired using the flickr-statistics project. A visualization is available from https://www.flickr.com/photos/franckmichel/49788632377/.
