Hello Tom, Don't give up hope yet. I was incorrect in my incantation, but this one works:
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/110918005189118533839/album/AmericanCanyonSeptember152012?authkey=Gv1sRgCLTGtYSlv8jAdg&prettyprint=true The difference is that the user ID should be in front of /user/ instead of /userid/. To be fair, I was responding on my phone, so I didn't get it all just right. Please take a look at the full API documentation to learn how to use the API: https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/docs/2.0/developers_guide_protocol Thank you.
