Picasaweb and Google Feed API

Question

I need some help with the google feeds API. My ex-colleagues wrote some javascript using the EmbedPicasaGallery. You can find the .md here.

They use a long script. I can post it if needed but the point is the Picasaweb feed API.

    if (meta_opts.authkey){
            authkey = '&authkey=' + meta_opts.authkey;
        }

        if (meta_opts.albumid) {
           showAlbum($this,meta_opts,meta_opts.albumid)
        }
        else {
            $this.prepend($album_list);
            $.getJSON('http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/' 
                + user + '?kind=album&access=visible' + authkey 
                + '&alt=json-in-script&thumbsize=' + meta_opts.size + 'c&callback=?',
                renderAlbumList
           );
        }
    };

The code that is broken (in my understanding) is

 $.getJSON('http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/' 
                + user + '?kind=album&access=visible' + authkey 
                + '&alt=json-in-script&thumbsize=' + meta_opts.size + 'c&callback=?',
                renderAlbumList
           );

I know picasa is slowly dissapearing. When you login you get a different type of url now:

https://get.google.com/albumarchive/NUMBERS/album/NUMBERSANDLETTERS

Whereas 'in the old days' you got

user/NUMBERS/album/NUMBERS

If I use the way of linking in the script and enter the details from the new method I get following error:

javascript error

Wheres if I leave out /album/NUMBERSANDLETTERS like this:

https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/117827817825830816166/

I get a list of the albums of the user.

Anybody knows how I can integrate the new way to get the old result?

Thanks, Thomas

Answer 1

I've broaden my search by including Google Photo. I found a solution here.

Locate the album you wish to show.
    1 Find a user profile on Google+
    2 Click "photos", such as: https://plus.google.com/+JustinLeeSG/photos
    3 Choose an album, such as: https://plus.google.com/photos/112290004776472583114/albums/5995482558738492129

From here on I knew the next steps. So
