Photos

Get

 
const options = {     
  maxResults : 10 // by default get all
  albumId : "6338620891611370881" // by default all photos are selected
}
 
picasa.getPhotos(accessToken, options, (error, photos) => {
  console.log(error, photos)
})

Post

Where binary is the binary's file and the albumId the album id to be stored.

const photoData = {
  title       : 'A title',
  summary     : 'Summary or description',
  contentType : 'image/jpeg',             // image/bmp, image/gif, image/png
  binary      : binary
}
 
picasa.postPhoto(accessToken, albumId, photoData, (error, photo) => {
  console.log(error, photo)
})

Delete

picasa.deletePhoto(accessToken, albumId, photoId, (error) => {
  console.log(error)
})

Auth

To get an access token follow the next flow:

1.Get the Auth URL and redirect the user to it.

// Get config here API Manager > Credentials https://console.developers.google.com/home/dashboard
const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
}
 
const authURL = picasa.getAuthURL(config)

2.Google displays a consent screen to the user, asking them to authorize your application to request some of their data.

3.Google redirects a code to your redirectURI.

4.Use the code given as GET param in order to get an access token:

// Get config here API Manager > Credentials https://console.developers.google.com/home/dashboard
const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
  clientSecret : 'yourClientSecret'
}
 
picasa.getAccessToken(config, code, (error, accessToken) => {
  console.log(error, accessToken)
})
