Unfortunately photos_from_posts still leaves in "Profile Photos" and "Scrapbook" type albums. I found that I could use the partial response feature to filter them out of the query with: fields=entry[not(gphoto:albumType)] And similarly to get posts only from Google+ you can do: fields=entry[gphoto:albumType] However, the filtering doesn't work with max-results so it's not a whole lot better than doing the full query and filtering out things with gphoto:albumType manually.
