I've spent all morning trying to track down a way to get access to my Google+ Auto-Backup photos programmatically. The most promising is the Picasa Web Albums API, but I can't work out how to get authentication working (which I would need to get access to my private photos).
The example on the Developer's Guide page doesn't work because the gdata.photos.service doesn't appear to be in the google-api-python-client package anymore.
Any ideas for how to attack this?
I've found a script from PicasaDeleter, and the authentication looks working well. But I can't get access to the Aotu_Backup photos, It seems that you can only get access to the PUBLIC albums while the Auto Backup is a folder instead of an album and all albums in that folder are PRIVATE. I am a newbie, maybe I've been misunderstand the situation.
