This automation scenario allows you to connect Foursquare and Flickr
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

Foursquare and Flickr can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in Foursquare
This Trigger fires every time you check in with a photo on Foursquare or Swarm. Only works with public check-ins.
Then this action happens in Flickr
This Action will upload a new public photo, from a given URL to an image, to your Flickr photostream.
This guide contains information on how to set up an automatic workflow that allows to Post your Foursquare photos to Flickr.
Part I
First, we need to connect Foursquare and Flickr to IFTTT.
Create IFTTT account.
Create IFTTT account if you don't have one.
Connect Foursquare to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Foursquare account, using Foursquare credentials.
Connect Flickr to IFTTT.
Give IFTTT access to your Flickr account, using Flickr credentials.
Part II
Next, we need to create a workflow automation scenario using graphical no-code web interface of IFTTT.
Set up a Trigger action for Foursquare
Choose the following trigger: New check-in with photo (This Trigger fires every time you check in with a photo on Foursquare or Swarm. Only works with public check-ins.).
Then set up an Action for Flickr
Choose this action: Upload public photo from URL (This Action will upload a new public photo, from a given URL to an image, to your Flickr photostream.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between Foursquare and Flickr.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will Post your Foursquare photos to Flickr!
This Trigger fires every time you upload a new public photo to your Flickr photostream.
This Trigger fires every time you favorite a public photo on Flickr.
Triggers when you add a new photo.
Triggers when a new photo is added to an account being watched.
Triggers when you add a new photo to an album.
This Trigger fires once new photos are detected in your Flickr photostream. It uses a 5 minute delay to identify batch uploads.
Create a check-in
Create an event
Create a tip
Upload a photo
Create check in
Create tip
IFTTT helps to create applications connections with a simple statement: if this then that. For example: "Tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter". You define a task by a trigger and an action.
