API for Photos, Albums and Auth can be found here. Please check out also the examples dir for more detailed examples. Rename config.example.json to config.json and add your own config data.

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.getTokens(config, code).then(tokens => {
  /* use tokens.accessToken or tokens.refreshToken */
})

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

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

picasa.renewAccessToken(config, refreshToken).then(renewedAccessToken => {
  /* do something with renewedAccessToken */
})
