We've been having lots of issues lately with general tag fetches. I think most of the recent issues have been resolved but it now seems like its not possible to fetch a friends photos by tag.
An example fetch is this: http://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/101082856459243797152?kind=photo&tag=keyboard&max-results=1000 This should return 1 public photo tagged with 'keyboard' for that user. This works fine when the fetch is unauthenticated. You can try it in a normal browser to see the results. If however you run the same fetch through the objective-c gdata sdk and authenticate the fetch using oath (and authenticated as a different user than above) the fetch returns no photos. Authenticated tag fetches seem to always return 0 photos when fetching for a user other then the one logged in. Is this a bug, is it by design? Are there any work-arounds? The objective c we're using to run the fetch is: NSString *feedURLString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"https://photos.googleapis.com/data/feed/api/user/%@?kind=photo&tag=%@&max-results=%d";, [[tag userId] encodeForURL], [[tag title] encodeForURL] , 1000, nil]; NSURL *feedURL = [NSURL URLWithString:feedURLString]; // fetch the photos feed GDataServiceGooglePhotos *service = [self googlePhotosService]; [service clearResponseDataCache]; [service setServiceShouldFollowNextLinks:NO]; GDataServiceTicket * tagFetchTicket = [service fetchFeedWithURL:feedURL delegate:self didFinishSelector: @selector(tagsTicket:finishedWithFeed:error:)]; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Picasa Web Albums API" group.
