Picasa Go library for downloading photos

WARNING

As Google deprecated the Picasa API, and it won't work from 15 March 2019, I sunset this project.

ATM Google Drive is the only way I know to retrieve your photos. See Perkeep for an importer!

picago

Picago is a small Go library for downloading and uploading photos from Picasa Web.

Install

go install github.com/tgulacsi/picago/pica-dl

Permissions

You must obtain a client ID and secret from Google in order to call the APIs this project relies on.

1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project and create a new project. You can name it whatever you want. You can also reuse an existing project if you have one.

2. Click on the project, and under "APIs & auth" > "Consent screen", ensure you have "Product name" and "Email address" specified.

3. Under "APIs and auth" > "Credentials" click "Create new client ID". Choose type "Installed application", then installed application type "Other".

Running

After getting a client ID and secret, you can run the example app as

pica-dl -id=11849328232-4q13l4hgr5mdt35lbe49l8banqg5e1mk.apps.googleusercontent.com -secret=Y0xf_rauB9MVTNYAI2MYIz2w -dir=/tmp/pica

This will download all photos from all albums under /tmp/pica. Each album and photo is accompanied with a .json file containing some metadata.

picago's Issues

Picasa API Deprecation

From the Picasa document, the API has been deprecated and is no longer available.

It's time to make a small change to makes this library still works until 15 March 2019, and sunset this project after that day.

Problem importing an image with gps coordinates of "0.0 0.0"

Hi,

When I try to import a particular image from my google photos which has "0.0 0.0" set as its coordinates, picago thinks this is incorrect and just bails. I'm new to Go programming so I'm not sure what the correct solution is but I changed get.go:243 to
if e.Point != "" && e.Point != "0.0 0.0" && lat == 0 && long == 0 {

This lets the download process continue without throwing an error and assumes that the coordinates are unset, just like it would be the case if e.Point = "".

Do you think this is acceptable? If not, how would I prevent picago from ignoring photos with weird coordinates like this?

Cheers,
Durand

Switch oauth dep from code.google.com/p/goauth2 to golang.org/x/oauth2

The oauth2 library moved to github a long time ago.
