Mulai menggunakan Library API
Tetap teratur dengan koleksi
Simpan dan kategorikan konten berdasarkan preferensi Anda.
Library API memungkinkan Anda berinteraksi dengan foto, video, dan album dalam
library Google Foto pengguna, tetapi dengan fokus penting: Anda hanya dapat mengakses
dan mengelola konten yang dibuat oleh aplikasi Anda.
Sebelum memulai
Kasus penggunaan utama Library API
Library API cocok untuk skenario saat aplikasi Anda harus:
- Mengupload dan menyimpan media: Mengimpor foto dan video (yang dibuat oleh
aplikasi Anda) ke galeri Google Foto pengguna dengan aman.
- Mengelola konten: Buat dan kelola album untuk membantu pengguna mengelola
media terkait aplikasi mereka.
- Meningkatkan kualitas foto dan album: Menambahkan konteks ke item media dan album melalui
pengayaan seperti judul, deskripsi, atau informasi lokasi.
- Mengakses data yang dibuat aplikasi: Mengambil dan berinteraksi dengan foto, video,
dan album yang sebelumnya dibuat oleh aplikasi Anda.
Alur kerja Library API standar
Meskipun Library API menawarkan berbagai fungsi, alur kerja umum mungkin
melibatkan langkah-langkah berikut:
Upload media: Gunakan endpoint upload
untuk mengupload byte foto atau video ke Google Foto dengan aman. Langkah ini
akan menghasilkan
uploadToken.
Membuat item media: Gunakan metode
mediaItems.batchCreate, yang menyediakan
uploadToken, untuk membuat item media di galeri foto pengguna.
Membuat album (opsional): Gunakan metode albums.create
untuk membuat album dalam galeri foto pengguna guna mengatur item media.
Mengelola album:
Mengakses media yang dibuat aplikasi:
- Mengambil detail tentang item media tertentu menggunakan
mediaItems.get atau
mediaItems.batchGet.
- Telusuri item media yang dibuat oleh aplikasi Anda menggunakan
mediaItems.search.
- Cantumkan item media dalam album tertentu yang dibuat aplikasi menggunakan
mediaItems.search dengan ID album.
Langkah berikutnya
- Tinjau dokumen referensi: Pelajari dokumentasi referensi Library API yang mendetail untuk mempelajari semua metode dan parameter yang tersedia.
- Coba contoh: Lihat contoh kami untuk melihat
cara kerja Library API dan mendapatkan inspirasi untuk integrasi Anda.

Key actions include uploading media using an `uploadToken`, creating media items in the user's library, and optionally organizing them into albums. You can also manage albums by adding or removing media, adding enrichments, and retrieving album information. The API allows retrieval and searching of app-created media items. The first step before starting to use this API is to configure your application and ensure the Library API is suitable for your use case.\n"],null,["# Get started with the Library API\n\nThe Library API lets you to interact with photos, videos, and albums within your\nusers' Google Photos libraries, but with an important focus: you can only access\nand manage content that was created by your application.\n\nBefore you start\n----------------\n\n- **Check out the overview:** [Compare the Picker API and the Library API](/photos/overview/about) to make sure the Library API is the right fit for your use case.\n- **Configure Your app:** Enable the API and set up authentication. See [Configure your app](/photos/overview/configure-your-app) for detailed steps.\n\nKey use cases of the Library API\n--------------------------------\n\nThe Library API is ideal for scenarios where your app needs to:\n\n- **Upload and store media:** Securely import photos and videos (generated by your app) into your users' Google Photos libraries.\n- **Organize content:** Create and manage albums to help users organize their app-related media.\n- **Enhance photos and albums:** Add context to media items and albums through enrichments like titles, descriptions, or location information.\n- **Access app-created data:** Retrieve and interact with the photos, videos, and albums that your app has previously created.\n\nTypical Library API workflow\n----------------------------\n\nWhile the Library API offers various functionalities, a common workflow might\ninvolve these steps:\n\n1. **Upload media:** Use the [uploads endpoint](/photos/library/guides/upload-media)\n to securely upload photo or video bytes to Google Photos. This step\n generates an\n [`uploadToken`](/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/batchCreate#SimpleMediaItem.FIELDS.upload_token).\n\n2. **Create media items:** Use the [`mediaItems.batchCreate`\n method](/photos/library/guides/upload-media#creating-media-item), providing\n the `uploadToken`, to create media items in the user's library.\n\n3. **Create albums (optional):** Use the [`albums.create` method](/photos/library/guides/manage-albums#creating-new-album)\n to create albums within the user's library to organize the media items.\n\n4. **Manage albums:**\n\n - Add media items (created by your app) to albums using [`albums.batchAddMediaItems`.](/photos/library/guides/manage-albums#adding-items-to-album)\n - Remove media items from albums using [`albums.batchRemoveMediaItems`](/photos/library/guides/manage-albums#removing-items-from-album).\n - Add enrichments to albums (like titles or locations) using [`albums.addEnrichment`.](/photos/library/guides/add-enrichments#intro-adding-enrichments-album)\n - Retrieve information about specific albums using [`albums.get`](/photos/library/guides/list#listing-albums).\n - List albums created by your app using [`albums.list`](/photos/library/guides/list#listing-albums).\n5. **Access app-created media:**\n\n - Retrieve details about specific media items using `mediaItems.get` or `mediaItems.batchGet`.\n - Search for media items created by your app using `mediaItems.search`.\n - List media items within a specific app-created album using `mediaItems.search` with the album ID.\n\nNext steps\n----------\n\n- Review the reference docs: Explore the detailed [Library API reference\n documentation](/photos/library/reference/rest) to learn about all the available methods and parameters.\n- Try out the samples: Check out our [sample](/photos/library/samples) to see the Library API in action and get inspiration for your integration."]]
