Getting geotagged photos related to a certain street or close to a gps point

I want to be able to display photos of some important touristic attractions that are near certain streets or certain gps coordinates. After digging around i came across Flickr and its API.

They have something but apparently that is not good enough for what i am planning. Basically i could use flickr.places.find method that returns a list of WOE id's and then use them on flick.photos.search but as per their documentation if i pass a street level address it will return the city that contains the address rather than the street. So that does not do me any good.

Is there any way that i can go around this ?

You could use the Flickr.Photos.Search method which has a few attributes that match your needs. I would poke around with this method, which seems to be the one for you.

Flickr.Photos.Search

Return a list of photos matching some criteria. Only photos visible to the calling user will be returned. To return private or semi-private photos, the caller must be authenticated with 'read' permissions, and have permission to view the photos. Unauthenticated calls will only return public photos.

accuracy (Optional)

Recorded accuracy level of the location information. Current range is 1-16:

  • World level is 1
  • Country is ~3
  • Region is ~6
  • City is ~11
  • Street is ~16

lat (Optional)

A valid latitude, in decimal format, for doing radial geo queries.

lon (Optional)

A valid longitude, in decimal format, for doing radial geo queries.

Radius

A valid radius used for geo queries, greater than zero and less than 20 miles (or 32 kilometers), for use with point-based geo queries. The default value is 5 (km).
