Is it possible to get static image URL from the flickr URL via an api call or some script ?
For eg :
Flickr URL -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/53067560@N00/2658147888/in/set-72157606175084388/
Static image URL -> http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/2658147888_826edc8465.jpg

With specifying extras=url_o you get a link to the original image:

https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=YOURAPIKEY&format=json&nojsoncallback=1&text=cats&extras=url_o

For downscaled images, you use the following parameters: url_t, url_s, url_q, url_m, url_n, url_z, url_c, url_l

Alternatively, you can construct the URL as described:

http://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}.jpg
or
http://farm{farm-id}.staticflickr.com/{server-id}/{id}_{secret}_[mstzb].jpg
