DESCRIPTION
This script will download photos from the Picasa Web site based upon a
query you give. This will download all files into the current working
directory. If albums are downloaded (the default unless --kind is set
to "photo"), subdirectories will be created for each album and the
photos will be placed within those.
NAMEpicasa-get - fetch albums and photos from Google Picasa Web
OPTIONS--username
This is the Google username to use when logging in. This is
generally a GMail address or another email address used to login to
Google services.
--password
This is the Google password to use when loggin in.
--kind
This is the kind of information to pull. There are two possible
settings:
album
This is the default. If albums are pulled, each album found
will cause a directory to be created in the current working
directory. Then, all the photos in the album will be placed in
that directory.
photo
The matching photos will be pulled and saved into the current
working directory.
--user-id
This is the Google user ID to use to pull from.
If --kind is not given or is set to "album", then the default is to
use the "default" user ID. This special identifier tells Google to
pull for the currently authenticated user (which won't work if
you're not authenticated, so specify --user-id if you don't specify
--username).
If --kind is set to "photo", then the default is not to set this at
all, but to pull photos from the general picasa community. You may
set this to "default" to user the logged username or a specific
user ID.
--album-id
This is the ID of the album to use when fetching photos. This
option can be used more than once to specify multiple albums to
fetch.
--find-album
--find-photo
This option allows you to specify additional rules to match albums
or photos by. This option can be used more than once to require
additional rules. Each rule is given with a field name followed by
either "=" to specify and exact match or "=~" to specify a Perl
regular expression match, finally with the value to match. For
example, to match only those albums containing "2008" in the name,
you could run:
picasa-list --kind album --username example --find-album title=~2008
This would download only images attached to albums with "2008" in
the title.
Here is a list of fields you can compare against:
· id
· url
· title
· summary
· author_name
· author_uri
· entry_id
· user_id
--option
This option allows you to specify arbitrary options on the Picasa
Web query. To see a list of available options, check "STANDARD LIST
OPTIONS" in Net::Google::PicasaWeb.
--update
Normally, if a directory matching the name of an album already
exists, this utility will not enter that directory and write photos
into it. If this option is given, it will go ahead and do so.
--dry-run
If given, no directories will be created and no files will be
downloaded. The script will go through the process of describing
what it would do if this option weren't set.
--quiet
If given, the typical status output will be surpressed.
--help
Show some of this help stuff.
--man
Show lots of help.
