Usage

(Check out the examples dir too, rename config.example.json > config.json and add your credentials)

const Picasa = require('picasa')

const picasa = new Picasa()

NOTE: Every Picasa API request requires an access token.

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)
})

Albums

Get

const options = {}

picasa.getAlbums(accessToken, options,  (error, albums) => {
  console.log(error, albums)
})

Create

const albumData = {
  title: 'My first album',
  summary: 'First album with Picasa API'
}

picasa.createAlbum(accessToken, albumData,  (error, albums) => {
  console.log(error, albums)
})

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, refreshToken) => {
  console.log(error, accessToken, refreshToken)
})

5.If you need to renew an expired accessToken use the refreshToken with renewAccessToken:

const config = {
  clientId     : 'yourClientId',
  redirectURI  : 'redirectURI'
  clientSecret : 'yourClientSecret'
}

picasa.renewAccessToken(config, refreshToken, (error, accessToken) => {
  console.log(error, accessToken)
})
