Google today introduced the Google Photos Partner Program and the Google Photos Library API, which together will allow third-party app and device makers to add Google Photos to their own apps and services. The idea is to make it easier for people to access their Google Photos from myriad devices, not just their phone or computer. Google says developers can use the REST API to let users connect, upload, and share photos from within their app. It will allow people to find photos based on subject, location, description, as well as take actions such as organize albums, add titles, and transfer photos to and/or collaborate with others. Thanks to machine learning, end users will be able to use smart filters within third-party apps to fine-tine searches. Google says features like thumbnails and cross-platform deep links are fully supported. The Google Photos Library API is being offered as a developer preview so third-party app writers can begin testing Google Photos Library in their own apps.
