Q: Google Photos Library API - I don't know how it works, someone?

问题

I'm trying to load an album from Google Photos via javascript but I don't understand how the api works, I started reading Google Photos API but no luck. Is there a code reference that I can follow to get a list of the photos of my album?

I found this but doesn't work

<script>   

var scopeApi = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/photoslibrary.readonly.appcreateddata'];

function onAuthPhotoApiLoad() {
    window.gapi.auth.authorize(
        {
            'apiKey': 'MY_API_KEY',
            'client_id': "MY_CLIEND_ID",
            'scope': scopeApi,
            'immediate': false
        },
        handlePhotoApiAuthResult);
}


function handlePhotoApiAuthResult(authResult) {
    if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
        oauthToken = authResult.access_token;

            GetAllPhotoGoogleApi();
    }
}


function GetAllPhotoGoogleApi() {
    gapi.client.request({
        'path': 'https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/albums',
        'method': 'POST' 
    }).then(function (response) {
        console.log(response);     

    }, function (reason) {
        console.log(reason);
    });
}

onAuthPhotoApiLoad();

While in the process of developing a Photos synching script, I spent a few days researching and testing the Oauth 2.0 documentation. It's a lot to take in, but hopefully this Cliff-notes version is helpful:

1. App Setup You first need to get an application configuration through the developer console at console.developers.google.com/ and make sure that the Photos data is shared.

   You'll get a JSON file that looks like this

       {"installed":{
        "client_id":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com",
        "project_id":"xxxx-xxxxxxxx-123456",
        "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
        "token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token",
        "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
        "client_secret":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "redirect_uris":["urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob","http://localhost"]
        }}
   

2. Request Authorization Code - You then need to write code that uses those values to get an authorization token - basically a string that indicates the user has allowed your application access to their data. Send a request to the auth_uri endpoint with these values in the querystring:

   • scope - a space-delimited list of scopes from developers.google.com/photos that says you want your user to grant access to these features
   • redirect_uri - a URL you own that can capture an incoming querystring
   • client_id - from your developer config in step 1
   • state - 32 random bytes, base64 encoded and made URL-friendly by replacing "+","/","=" with "-","_","" respectively
   • code_challenge - a SHA256 hash of another 32 random bytes, base64 encoded and made URL-friendly
   • code_challenge_method - "S256" (no quotes)

3. Authorization round trip Sending this composed URI to a user's browser will allow them to choose a Google account and show which scopes are being requested. Once that form is submitted, it will redirect to your redirect_uri with querystring (Method = GET) values:

   • code - the authorization code you can use to request an access token
   • state - a string you can use to validate against your hash

4. Get an access_token Finally you exchange the authorization code for an OAuth AccessToken that you'll put in the HTTP header of all the API requests. The request goes to the token_uri from step 1 and has these request body (Method = POST) parameters:

   • code - you got from the redirect querystring in Step 3
   • redirect_uri - same as above, but this may not be used
   • client_id - from configuration
   • code_verifier - code_challenge before it was hashed
   • client_secret - from configuration
   • scope - can be empty here
   • grant_type - "authorization_code" (no quotes)

5. Use the access tokens The response from that request will have an access_token and a refresh_token. You can use the short-lived access_token immediately in your API request's HTTP header. Store the long-lived refresh_token so you can get a new access_token without authorizing again.

That's the gist of it. You can look at my Powershell script for an example of the authorization and authentication flows which work even though the rest is a little buggy and incomplete. Paging through albums is getting a 401 error sometimes.
