Hello Google Photos Library API in Go

An example Go application using Google Photos Library API.

TL;DR

1. Open https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
2. Create an OAuth client ID where the application type is other.
3. Set the following environment variables:

export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=

./hello-google-photos photo1.jpg photo2.jpg

The photos will be uploaded to your Google Photos Library.

How it works

This depends on google/google-api-go-client.

It does not provide media uploads and this implements it using http.Client.

Caveats

This does not persist an access token. You must do browser authentication every time.

This supports does not support a service account.
