Flickr API - https://www.flickr.com/services/api/ along with Python API (https://code.google.com/p/flickrpy/) provides a way to download images using different parameters.
This Python program available here - https://github.com/annafatsevych/images-flickr
Will download the images (true to their posted format on Flickr - PNG, GIF(non-animated),and JPG - based on the specified date as well as the CC License selected (multiple licenses can be selected) - https://www.flickr.com/services/api/flickr.photos.licenses.getInfo.html
It uses two method calls:
photos.search(date, license) - to get all the images with the date and license parameters
photos.getInfo() - to get the information about the author (Flickr's user ID, and registered user name for licensing purposes, and original URL for attributions)
Flickr API offers many methods - this is one way to use them and will be updated with further optimizations.
