How to publish multilevel shoot using Street view publish API

Question

I'm trying to publish multilevel shoot using Street View Publish API but levels are not showing on Google map.

I have sent this below python request for Upload the metadata of the photo:

Request for level 1:

metadata_upload_url = "https://streetviewpublish.googleapis.com/v1/photo?key={}".format(API_KEY)
    headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(ACCESS_KEY), "Content-Length": "0",
               "Content-Type": "application/json"}
    data = {

        "uploadReference": {
            "uploadUrl": "https://streetviewpublish.googleapis.com/media/user/100547264652003378315/photo/5844140439745949662"
        },
        "pose": {
            "latLngPair": {
                "latitude": 18.51314,
                "longitude": 73.85670
            },
            "heading": 0.0,
            "pitch": 0.0,
            "level": {
                "number": 1,
                "name": "arr"
            }
        },

        "places": [{
            "placeId": "ChIJb3sWh27AwjsRkiAc5rqoVvs",
        }],
    }
    meta_photo_request = requests.post(metadata_upload_url, json=data, headers=headers)
    photoid = meta_photo_request.json()['photoId']['id']

Request for level 2:

metadata_upload_url = "https://streetviewpublish.googleapis.com/v1/photo?key={}".format(API_KEY)
        headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format(ACCESS_KEY), "Content-Length": "0",
                   "Content-Type": "application/json"}
        data = {

            "uploadReference": {
                "uploadUrl": "https://streetviewpublish.googleapis.com/media/user/100547264652003378315/photo/5844140439745949662"
            },
            "pose": {
                "latLngPair": {
                    "latitude": 18.51315,
                    "longitude": 73.85671
                },
                # "altitude": 500,
                "heading": 0.0,
                "pitch": 0.0,
                "level": {
                    "number": 2,
                    "name": "brr"
                }
            },

            "places": [{
                "placeId": "ChIJb3sWh27AwjsRkiAc5rqoVvs",
            }],
        }
        meta_photo_request = requests.post(metadata_upload_url, json=data, headers=headers)
        photoid = meta_photo_request.json()['photoId']['id']  

Result with status 200

      }
    }
  ]
}  

In the result, level object is empty while I have put the level name and number. I'm not getting why it is showing empty.

Can anyone tellme about what step should be follow for publish the multilevel shoot on Google map?

Answer 1

You need to make sure that all photos are very close to each other (~5m) to make the levels control show up. You could try to send the levels data with a separate photo.update call. Don't forget to use the correct updateMask.
