Watch a video of Sven discussing the Picasa Web Albums Data API.

The Picasa Web Albums Data API allows client applications to view and update albums, photos, and comments in the form of Google Data API feeds.

Your client application can use the Picasa Web Albums Data API to create new albums, upload photos, add comments, edit or delete existing albums, photos, and comments, and query for items that match particular criteria.

This developer's guide consists of the following sections:

• Protocol
• .NET
• Java
• PHP
• Python

To learn about the client library for a particular programming language, select the corresponding section. To learn more about the underlying protocol used by all the client libraries, select the Protocol section.

Each section of the guide covers the same material: how to get started and how to perform basic operations using a particular client library.
