FAQPage Schema
How do I upload photos to Google Photos using this skill?

Use the GOOGLEPHOTOS_UPLOAD_MEDIA tool by providing a local file path or a URL. You can also use GOOGLEPHOTOS_BATCH_CREATE_MEDIA_ITEMS to upload multiple files simultaneously into a specific album.

Can I search for photos by date or category?

Yes, use the GOOGLEPHOTOS_SEARCH_MEDIA_ITEMS tool. It supports filters for date ranges, media types, and content categories to help you locate specific items in your library.

What are the file size limits for uploads?

The Google Photos API supports image uploads up to 200MB and videos up to a larger specified limit. Files exceeding these thresholds will fail to upload.

Why are my newly uploaded photos not appearing in the web UI?

Media items created via the API may experience processing delays before they appear in the Google Photos web interface. This is expected behavior for the underlying service.

How do I manage albums created by the app?

Use GOOGLEPHOTOS_LIST_ALBUMS to retrieve your albums and GOOGLEPHOTOS_UPDATE_ALBUM to modify titles or cover photos. Note that you can only add items to albums owned by the user or created by the app.
