    for hasMore {
        items, err := svc.MediaItems.Search(req).Do()
        if err != nil {
            return err

        for _, m := range items.MediaItems {
            fmt.Println(m)
        }
        req.PageToken = items.NextPageToken
        if req.PageToken == "" {
            hasMore = false
        }
    }
    return nil
