## Frequently asked questions

Can I try the Google Photos APIs without joining the partner program?

    partner program. However, if your app is likely to exceed the general
    availability [quota limit](https://developers.google.com/photos/overview/api-limits-quotas), express
    interest in the Google Photos partner program.

Where can I find the integration guidelines and best practices?
:   As you integrate with the Photos APIs, you should keep the [Photos API
    User Data and Developer Policy](https://developers.google.com/photos/support/api-policy),
    [Technical best practices](https://developers.google.com/photos/overview/best-practices), and
    [UX guidelines](https://developers.google.com/photos/overview/ux-guidelines) in mind.

My submission was not accepted into the partner program. Can I re-apply?
:   If you applied more than 6 months ago, re-apply with the new information. On
    the other hand, if you applied within the last 6 months, reply

Can I use Google Photos logos in my marketing efforts?

    Google Photos brand assets, including a "Works with Google Photos" badge
    that you can use in your marketing efforts.

I have been accepted to the partner program. How do I launch my integration?
:   Before you can launch your application, it must pass two reviews:

    1. [OAuth verification review](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/7454865#verification)
    2. Google Photos APIs integration review (details supplied upon acceptance into the Google Photos partner program)

I am seeing an "unverified app" error when using my application. How do I submit my app for verification?

:   This error means you have not yet completed the [OAuth verification
    review](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/7454865#verification). This
    verification is independent and in addition to any reviews conducted as part
    of the Google Photos partner program.

    warning on the screen. Find out more about [unverified
