Hi, You can review our Terms of Service here:
http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/terms.html These can be given to a lawyer if you would like legal advice. Offhand, I don't think there is anything wrong with writing your own gallery view of your own Picasa Web Albums account, as long as you are not allowing the users of your site to upload to that single account. However, I do think you'd make some people happy if you displayed one of our branding icons to let visitors to your site know who is hosting your photos. :) http://code.google.com/apis/picasaweb/branding.html Cheers, -Jeff On Oct 28, 12:57 pm, Ahumaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! how are you? > > I am developing a Joomla 1.5 component using Picasa Web API and i need > to know if it is legal the way i am using this API. > > This is the beta version of my gallery (contains only 1 album for > now): > > http://www.vive-mexico.net/index.php/component/mypicasa/ > > From the application point of view: > > 1.- Each time the user visit my web site photo gallery and each time > the user clicks an item, album or picture, my application makes a > request to picasa with the API and retrieve the information about that > item. > > 2.- With that information, my application writes a web page with that > information as a result to the user. > All picture sources points toward google and picasa servers. > > I don't know is this is the best way to use the API because involves a > very high work load to Picasa and Google servers. > > Each time a user click an image, I make a request and all multimedia > comes from Picasa and Google servers to the user PC.
