oauth2 and getting started

[deg]

I'm trying to use picasawebsync to sync a local picture directory with my Google Photos account. I'm hitting some newbie pains, and hope you have a few minutes to set me straight. (Thanks!)

1. Your issue #50 suggest that this may no longer work at all. Is this correct? If so, I guess I've hit a dead-end here?

2. Assuming this is still working, I don't quite see how to generate the oauth2 info. Per your readme, I need to follow the instructions here. But, I don't see where I can get or create an appropriate client_id and client_secret. Also, I don't understand your line "The settings are: Application Type: Installed Installed Application type: Other". It does not seem to fit the current content of that page.

Hi. I'm away at the moment so don't have access to my dev box to check, but a quick Google pointed me to https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2. Hopefully the instructions there will help.

If you do get it working feel free to suggest changes to readme.

Thanks. I will work through that doc (and a few others I've found) and will give back readme suggestions when I get it working.

But, my first question above is the bigger one. If I correctly read the previous issue on this project (issue #50, then this effort may be in vain.

That issues seems to imply that uploading to Google Photos has ceased to work recently, so I won't gain anything by wrestling OAuth2, since that will just set up for bashing my face into the new brick wall. Is this the case, or am I reading too much into your reply to that issue?

It was working for me not that long ago, and I've only had one report of it failing. My guess is it's OK - but probably only for a while.

Hi, Same way for me I have this error : (400, 'Bad Request', 'Delete is no longer supported')

[leocrawford]

Based on this, I think this project is dead. Sorry. :-(

Hi, So the only thing we can do it's to upload photos? And never touch after.

[leocrawford]

It seems so
