Hello, For the first type of URL, you can parse it and create a request that will load that photo entry:
picasaweb.google.com/USERID/ALBUMNAME#PHOTOID becomes picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/USERID/album/ALBUMNAME/photoid/PHOTOID You could also omit the album name and just go with picasaweb.google.com/data/entry/api/user/USERID/photoid/PHOTOID Unfortunately, the second one doesn't give you any way to get the API because it's meant to share the photo without giving any information about the album or the rest of the photos. You could try viewing each in a browser and try to follow them through the Belongs To link in the sidebar, although the link to the album is only available some of the time (if the album is visible to you, essentially). Let me know if you have questions. Thanks.
