      my $request = [Flickr::API::Request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI%3A%3ARequest/markdown)->new({

      use [Flickr::API::Request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI%3A%3ARequest/markdown);

      my $api = [Flickr::API](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI/markdown)->new({'key' => 'your_api_key'});

      my $request = [Flickr::API::Request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI%3A%3ARequest/markdown)->new({

      my $response = $api->execute_request($request);

## DESCRIPTION
    This object encapsulates a request to the Flickr API.

    "[Flickr::API::Request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI%3A%3ARequest/markdown)" is a subclass of [HTTP::Request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/HTTP%3A%3ARequest/markdown), so you can access any of the request
    parameters and tweak them yourself. The content, content-type header and content-length header
    are all built from the 'args' list by the "[Flickr::API::execute_request](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Flickr%3A%3AAPI%3A%3Aexecuterequest/markdown)()" method.
