The docs mention how to create the google_credentials.json but not how to create the auth/google_token.json, referenced in line 14 of migration_util.py. Can you explain how to do that?

Adding this for others who might be facing the same problem. I was getting DNS issues resolving to api.flickr.com. It was manifesting itself in urllib3 throwing Connecting errors randomly, usually after 80 images were pulled in the build_migration_photos_list.py script.

My solution was to add a /etc/hosts entry for api.flickr.com and that way no DNS was being called. So far am on photo pull 1300 and no errors!

I'm using Fedora 29 x86_64.
Python 3 on a virtualenv:

» python --version
Python 3.7.2

Following the instructions, every time I reach photo 61 I see this error message:

61 Photo(id=b'32716843128', title=b'')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/iweiss/projects/flickr2gphotos/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flickr_api/objects.py", line 1313, in getPhotoFile
    return self.getSizes()[size_label]["source"]
KeyError: 'Original'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "build_migration_photos_list.py", line 25, in <module>
    photo_url = photo.getPhotoFile("Original")
  File "/home/iweiss/projects/flickr2gphotos/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flickr_api/objects.py", line 1315, in getPhotoFile
    raise FlickrError("The requested size is not available")
flickr_api.flickrerrors.FlickrError: The requested size is not available

This is from an Auto Upload album, so I think that's why all of them have an empty title.

Firstly, thankyou so much for a really excellent tool to move photos from Flickr to Google. Most online services to do this (with many users) fail by hitting the Google API daily limit - so this is really great.

When images are moved from Flickr to Google the dates don't seem to be transferred (I've not looked at the EXIF data either). I could have a look at implementing this myself if you can point me in the right direction?
