html confusion

So when my program goes to this web page:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/16424072323/in/dateposted/

My program needs to figure out the address of the next photo, which I know to be:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/16787215517/in/photostream/

BUT, when I look at the source html page of the first one, I don't see 16787215517 at all.

Any ideas?

It does have an API, but I'm having trouble figuring it out in regards to Visual Basic 6.0
I can't help you with VB6.  You definitely won't be able to 'scrape' the pages to get what you want because it isn't there.
It looks like the API is going to give me what I need.  It's just a learning curve for me.
Ok, it's probably the better way.
