The API docs<https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/developers_guide_java#ListPhotos>say that an URL like this...
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/*username*?kind=photo ...will "retrieve the latest photos uploaded by username" (unfortunately with no definition as to what "latest" means, or how to specify a time range). However, when I try, I get wildly inconsistent results, especially with regards to the openSearch.totalResults field. I have 75 photos in my account, but the openSearch.totalResults field is *never* 75 for me, but rather always something smaller like 65, 68, or 71. I'm apparently not the only one with this problem, because the exact same behavior was reported in issue 2403 <http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=2403> ...over *two years* ago. And, from what I can tell, issue 2825<http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=2825>is related. Since this problem is apparently over two years old, I'm not holding my breath for a fix any time soon, so how do people actually use the API to retrieve photos if you can't rely on totalResults being correct or consistent? Is there a workaround? Or am I just misunderstanding the API? thanks, Chris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Picasa Web Albums API" group.
