Moving from Picasa to Google Photos


I was using Picasa to store my pictures and I used the api to retrieve them in my application. Now Picasa is moving to Google Photos. Every where I looked, it seems that Google Photos is using the same api as Picasa. Am I correct in assuming that this means I don't have to do any changes to my application? Will my application still display the correct images?

Additional quetsion: I created a new account on Google Photos and created some albums. Now I tried to connect to the Google Photos page with the Picasa Api and I keep getting page not found. Does anyone have an example of how to connect to the Google Photos with the Picasa Api?


Solution

  • Yes, Google photos is using the same API used by picasa. However there has been an announcement regarding changes to the API which will take into effect from may 1st 2016.
