Sorry about the outdated documentation. That function used to take an album name instead, but we changed it since people get confused about the canonical album name vs the display album name.
You can still retrieve the feed by specifying the URL yourself: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/USER_ID/album/ALBUM_NAME Be warned though - since special characters (unicode, punctuation, spaces) get stripped out or changed, the album name might not be what you think it is from looking at it. My question is - how are you getting the album name to begin with? If you are displaying a list of albums to the users it should be easy to add some hidden metadata that contains the album ID since the album feed contains both the display name and the ID.
