As far as I’m aware, no, there is no simple way of doing it.
Remember that while you know it’s your account, Google doesn’t - from their
servers’ perspective you’re just a user making REST requests. Clearly, Google
can’t accept requests to private photos without any form of authentication.
Whilst it’s annoying that user/pass auth isn’t supported any more, writing
OAuth isn’t that hard and there are plenty of examples out there.

Hi Mark/anyone else,
Since the setUserCredentials has been deprecated is there any way to simply
connect with your own picasa account to upload photos, without the need to get
user authentication which I don't need since it is my own account? I have
tried the following code and I am still getting the same error:
"The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found." error.
{"Execution of request failed:
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default/albumid/myalbumid"}
-----------------
My Code:
Uri postUri = new Uri(PicasaQuery.CreatePicasaUri("default", AlbumID));
const string ServiceAccountEmail = "em...@developer.gserviceaccount.com";
var certificate = new
X509Certificate2(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("bin/key2.p12"),
"notasecret", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);
var serviceAccountCredentialInitializer = new
ServiceAccountCredential.Initializer(ServiceAccountEmail)
{
Scopes = new[] { "https://picasaweb.google.com/data/"; }
}.FromCertificate(certificate);
var credential = new
ServiceAccountCredential(serviceAccountCredentialInitializer);
if
(!credential.RequestAccessTokenAsync(System.Threading.CancellationToken.None).Result)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Access token request
failed.");
var requestFactory = new GDataRequestFactory(null);
requestFactory.CustomHeaders.Add("Authorization: Bearer " +
credential.Token.AccessToken);
PicasaService service = new PicasaService("My App");
service.RequestFactory = requestFactory;
string sContentType = "image/jpeg";
PicasaEntry entry = (PicasaEntry)service.Insert(postUri, fileStream,
sContentType, sFilename);
fileStream.Close();
sPicasaURL = entry.Media.Content.Url.ToString();
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi all, since 27th May 2015 I'm not able to upload pictures using picasa Api.
I get always the same error:
Execution of authentication request returned unexpected result: 404
The crediantials it wasn't change and by browser I can login without problems.
My application running succesfully since October 2011.
The code of my application is:
Dim reqSet As New Google.GData.Client.RequestSettings("GM")
Dim picasarequest As Google.Picasa.PicasaRequest
Dim service As New Google.GData.Photos.PicasaService("")
reqSet.Timeout = 600000
picasarequest = New Google.Picasa.PicasaRequest(reqSet)
service = picasarequest.Service
service.setUserCredentials(PicasaUserName, PicasaPassword)
reqSet = Nothing
picasarequest = Nothing
Dim feed As Google.GData.Photos.PicasaFeed
Dim entry As Google.GData.Photos.PicasaEntry
Dim postUri As Uri
Dim album As Google.GData.Photos.AlbumAccessor
Dim StartIndex As Integer = 1
Dim AlbumId As String = ""
Dim newEntry As New Google.GData.Photos.AlbumEntry
Dim feedUri As Uri
Dim AlbumSummary As String
AlbumSummary = GetAlbumSummary(AlbumNameCurrent)
newEntry.Title.Text = AlbumNameCurrent
newEntry.Summary.Text = AlbumSummary
album = New Google.GData.Photos.AlbumAccessor(newEntry)
If PhotoTypeCurrent = enPhotoType.Shipment Then
album.Access = "private"
Else
album.Access = "public"
End If
feedUri = New
Uri(Google.GData.Photos.PicasaQuery.CreatePicasaUri(PicasaUserName))
album = New
Google.GData.Photos.AlbumAccessor(service.Insert(feedUri, newEntry))
I got the error in the last operation:
album = New
Google.GData.Photos.AlbumAccessor(service.Insert(feedUri, newEntry))
I also get the error with: feed = service.Query(query)
Dim query As Google.GData.Photos.AlbumQuery
Dim feed As Google.GData.Photos.PicasaFeed
query = New
Google.GData.Photos.AlbumQuery(Google.GData.Photos.PicasaQuery.CreatePicasaUri(PicasaUserName))
query.StartIndex = 1
query.NumberToRetrieve = 1000
feed = service.Query(query)
Thank in advance
