I searched and searched... unfortunately I'm just not knowledgable enough to work it out on my own...

 

how do I load google's picasa album JSON feed from my site?

 

In the browser I can enter this URL

 

http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/default?alt=json&kind=album

 

 and it works (returns the expectd JSON).

 

Notice I use "default" as username, which is the currently authenticated user for google, as I have successfully authenticated like this: https://www.google.com/accounts/AuthSubRequest?scope=http://picasaweb.google.com/data/&session=1&secure=0&next=http://mywebsite.com/googleauth

 

Once I try to load this URL ( http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/default?alt=json&kind=album) in jquery, however, I get permission denied.

 

I tried adding authkey parameter from my token like this:

 

var g = " http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/default?alt=json&kind=album&authkey=CNWQq6PWFRCMzsaHBRi9o4nDAQ";

 $.getJSON(g, function(data) {... etc...etc...

 

I think I am either doing the wrong thing or I'm missing something about making the token persistent...

surely someone out there knows? I do hope so...

 

Thanks all!
