Understand your Flickr views, not just count them.
Photo Stream Assistant reads Flickr's own statistics and shows how your views moved over any range inside Flickr's 28-day window, which photos led that range, and where the views came from inside and outside Flickr, with the same figures available for a single album. It needs a Flickr Pro account, because that is who Flickr provides statistics to, and Insights is part of the one-time Pro Unlock.
Photo Stream Assistant turns Flickr's daily statistics into something you can read: views over a range you choose, the photos that carried them, and the referrers behind them, inside and outside Flickr.
A view count tells you nothing on its own
Flickr shows you a number. It does not tell you which photos moved, whether a spike came from a group, a search engine, or somewhere off Flickr entirely, and it keeps per-day detail for only 28 days before it is gone.
- Pick any range inside Flickr's 28-day window and see how views moved across it.
- See which photos led the range, ranked for that range rather than for all time.
- Separate views that came from inside Flickr from those that arrived from other sites.
How Insights works
Step 1
Choose a range - the last few days, two weeks, or the whole 28-day window Flickr retains.
Step 2
Read the trend, then open the most-viewed list for that same range.
Step 3
Check the referrers to see which groups, searches, or outside sites sent the traffic.
Frequently asked questions
Why only 28 days?
That is Flickr's own limit: its API serves per-day statistics for the last 28 days. Anything older is no longer available to any app, including this one.
Do I need Flickr Pro for Insights?
Yes. Insights is built on Flickr's statistics, which Flickr provides for Pro accounts. Without Flickr Pro there is no per-day data to read.
Is Insights part of Pro Unlock?
Yes. Basic stats are in the free app; Insights - ranges, trends, per-range rankings and referrers - is part of the one-time Pro Unlock.
