Same here, I use Json data feed for integration on my website and have for that reason build in caching with php (cache the json response only) to overcome the long waits for albums, that will not change on a daily basis any way. So it seems to me that the servers used are a tiny bit slower then one would normally require.

Hey everyone

I have just implemented a feature in a Ruby on Rails app, which makes it possible to look through a users albums and photos. I use ClientLogin and store the token in a temp file for the header. It all works fine but the response times from the Picasa Data API are often very slow. Sometimes I even get a time out.

I can't figure out if I have done something wrong (maybe with the authentication) or if the response time indeed are this slow.

It would be a big help if anyone would share their experience about the response time from the Picasa Data API, or if someone have any idea of what might cause this.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks STP
