You’ve already been able to simply include a photo in a Google Buzz post using the Buzz API. Today we’re making it much easier to add photos to Buzz posts. Additionally, using Picasa as the photo repository, you’ll now be able to wield the Buzz API to take all sorts of other actions on behalf of the user:

• Create a new album
• Get an album
• Update an album’s metadata
• Delete an album
• List a user’s albums
• Upload a new photo
• Get a photo
• Update a photo’s metadata
• Delete a photo
• List a user’s photos

Accessing a photo entry through the Buzz API is just as easy as getting an activity. The form for retrieving an activity is:

https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/activities/{userId}/@self/{activityId}

With just a few alterations, we get the form for retrieving a photo:

https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/photos/{userId}/@self/{albumId}/@photos/{photoId}

With live data, it would look like the following URL:

https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/photos/farago/@self/5251364904403459921/@photos/5251366163678993586?alt=json&prettyprint=true

Browse to that address and you’ll get data that will point to this Picasa photo:

The read-only endpoints will return public data without authentication. For authenticated access to the photos endpoints, you must be granted an OAuth token for the user with both the Buzz and Photos API scopes. For existing users, you will need to discard the OAuth tokens scoped to the Buzz API and request authorization to both scopes. More details can be found on the Google Buzz API documentation site.

Photos are an essential part of social applications. We expect these new capabilities will allow you to enrich your user’s experience with a minimum of fuss. As always, please swing by the Developer Forum to let us know what you think. And if you haven’t already, start using the APIs console to track your API usage and other coolness.

This week Google Giving launched the Global Impact Awards, to recognize and reward achievements that use technology to improve people’s lives. The awards go to groups that have already accomplished dramatic results and provide continued funding so they can keep changing the world by providing clean water, protecting endangered species, and doing other wonderful things.



If you want to find out more about the Global Impact Awards, visit the home page, or learn about the other grant programs of Google Giving.

Meanwhile, near the moon, scientists have published the first mapping images from the tandem spacecraft Ebb and Flow, which reached lunar orbit about a year ago. This program, called GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory), uses the two spacecraft to study lunar features in great detail, providing unprecedented information about Earth’s moon. So far, the data shows craters, peaks, and volcanic formations, but no huge surprises like giant alien transformer robots.

Speaking of transformer robots, here’s one you can enjoy on video. Sure, it’s neither giant nor alien, but it’s still very cool, don’t you think? Have a great weekend!


On Fridays we depart from our usual developer topics and post a Fridaygram, which features interesting nerdy stuff for fun and knowledge. This week we acknowledge Walt Disney’s eleventy-first birthday, and the happy news that his creation Oswald the Lucky Rabbit will finally get a voice after 85 years of silence.
