  console.log(error, photo)
})

})

Albums

Get

const options = {}

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

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)
})

Change Log
