Google Data API Series with .NET

This post is last in series of our learning to use Google Data API with Picasa web Album. We have learnt quite a few things about Google Data API and how to use it to externally access Google Picasa services.

In summary all I have to say is this was good experience towards learning Google Data API. I learn and I hope that people who have reading this series of article might have learn or refresh their knowledge on Google Data API.

All you need to start with Google Data API is to download the Google Data API library and install it on your system. You should have a google account to access google services.

After writing these posts the diagram which comes to my mind towards learning Picasa web services is following:

Every time you need to access Picasa web services; you start with creating a Picasa Service and pass on the user credentials i.e. Gmail user id. To query Album you create Album Query and for photo you create photo query. You pass on AlbumID to URI Query if you are accessing a particular Picasa web album. The Album Query or Photo Query or URI Query is than handed over to Picasa feed which connects with the Picasa Web Service feed and returns the Picasa entry. The Picasa entry is a collection and it returns album or photo that you can access individually.
