i have a missunderstanding on how to parse the json from Flickr because it has a named function in front of json like this ( I used .replace() to format it like this )
jsonFlickrFeed({
"title": "Uploads from everyone",
"link": "https://www.flickr.com/photos/",
"description": "",
"modified": "2017-06-14T08:08:45Z",

"date_taken": "2011-01-01T08:20:44-08:00",
"description": " <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/57727182@N08/">bobbyblack51</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/57727182@N08/34455881614/" title="PICT5162"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4252/34455881614_c488502d97_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="PICT5162" /></a></p> ",

and this is the actual true response from Flickr :
jsonFlickrFeed({

i want to use JSON.parse(); but i get Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
In both cases it cannot be parsed
I dont use ajax to make request , i use a javascript engine Rhino like NodeJs and is serverside . I access the flicker public feed with a HTTP GET request like this (you can actually test it) :
https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?format=json&lang=en-us&nojsoncallback=1
THE SOLUTION was to add &nojsoncallback=1 to the url so the JSON be valid
