Picasa Importer
|
|
|
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a working Camlistore importer for Picasa. So far it can import
|
|
|
|
|
all photos but not their metadata.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Retrieve an api credential from a project of you from
|
|
|
|
|
https://console.developers.google.com/
|
|
|
|
|
Select/create a project, then under APIs & auth / Credentials, create a new
|
|
|
|
|
web application client id.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2a) Start the devcam server with picasakey flag:
|
|
|
|
|
$ devcam server -verbose -picasakey='Client ID:Client secret'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2b) Place the Client ID and the Client secret in your (low-level) server-config.json:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"/importer-picasa/": {
|
|
|
|
|
"handler": "importer-picasa",
|
|
|
|
|
"handlerArgs": {
|
|
|
|
|
"apiKey": "Client ID:Client secret"
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
},
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and start your camlistore server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Navigate to http://<server>/importer-picasa/start and authorize the app
|
|
|
|
|
to manage your Photos.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) Watch import progress on the command line (start devcam with -verbose flag).

TODO
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The used OAuth2 scope is for managing (read & modify) photos, but this
|
|
|
|
|
needs only read rights. Is a stricter scope available?
|
|
|
|
|
* The album's author name is not used yet, and the album's short name is needed.
|
|
|
|
|
* Picasa Web dumps a lot of metadata on us. Which would be usable?
