title: Picasa Web Albums API vs Google Photos Library API
body: <p>I have an app which uses the pretty old <strong>Picasa web albums data API</strong> (<a href="https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/picasa-web/</a>). A few days ago (May 2018), Google released the new <strong>Google Photos Library API</strong> (<a href="https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/get-started" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/get-started</a>) at Google I/O 2018. As of today (19 May 2018), the following endpoints still work in the Picasa API-</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>List albums of user - <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default</a></li>
  <li>List photos in an album- <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default/albumid/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/default/albumid/</a>{albumId}</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Will the old Picasa web albums data api still be supported in future? If no, is there any date decided as to when these API endpoints will be shutdown?</p>
