Using the albumID of the newly created album seems to do the trick.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is probably the case sensitivity bug, so if someone types 'test' into your program the album name would actually be 'Test' or sometimes 'Test1', etc if the album already exists. Can you try extracting the <gphoto:id> element of the entry you get back when creating the album and changing your URI to be ''/data/feed/api/user/default/albumid/ %s' (where %s is to be replaced with the album id).

Cheers, -Jeff

I get a the following error when I try to upload photos into an album I created with gdata.photos.service.PhotoService.InsertAlbum:

gdata.photos.service.GooglePhotosException: (404, 'Not Found', 'No album found.')

I don't get this error when I use the same script to upload into an album that I created from the PicasaWeb web page. Also, if I visit PicasaWeb I can see my album listed with the other albums and can even import using the web interface but still can't upload with the Python Picasa Web Albums Data API.

Am I doing something horribly wrong? Below is the test scripts:

from getpass import getpass import mimetypes from optparse import OptionParser

import gdata.photos.service import gdata.media import gdata.geo

parser = OptionParser() parser.add_option('-e', "--email", dest="email", metavar="EMAIL", default=None, help='the email address used to login to Picasa Web') parser.add_option("-p", "--password", dest="password", metavar="PASSWORD", default=None, help='the password used to login to Picasa') parser.add_option("-a", "--album", dest="album", metavar="ALBUM", default=None, help='the album to upload to')

options, args = parser.parse_args()

if not options.email: options.email = raw_input('email: ') if not options.password: options.password = getpass('password: ') if not options.album: options.album = raw_input('album: ')

gd_client = gdata.photos.service.PhotosService() gd_client.email = options.email gd_client.password = options.password gd_client.source = 'test' gd_client.ProgrammaticLogin()

albums = [entry.title.text for entry in gd_client.GetUserFeed().entry] if options.album not in albums: entry = gd_client.InsertAlbum(title=options.album, access='private', summary="") uri = '/data/feed/api/user/default/album/%s' % options.album for filename in args: content_type = mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0] title = filename summary = '' gd_client.InsertPhotoSimple(uri, title, summary, filename, content_type=content_type)
