--- Comment #7 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> ---
I looked at the API account's settings and the only setting related to content
filtering was the 'SafeSearch' setting which is set to OFF.

I think they just don't want to make restricted photosets available through the
non-authenticated API, as the reason they are restricted is because the owner
has failed to properly moderate the content in their account, so that means
that 3rd party users can't depend on the moderation settings. This would be
potentially embarrassing for people creating public Flickr applications with
the API.

And to clarify, the way we are currently using the API is non-authenticated. We
just pass a key that identifies the application (and application owner). Since
all of our API interaction is on the client-side, we can't do authentication
without exposing the username and password to the client (which would be fine
if we let people authenticate themselves, although this would require that they
actually have a Flickr account).
