Displaying Multiple Google Photo Albums beyond ‘Load More’

    I find that when displaying multiple albums, only the albums that appear before the ‘Load More’ during the Selection process are shown. The example URL is a good one. There should be six 2006 albums but only three are shown. The other three I selected after clicking on Show More during the selection process.

    While investigating I found the Chain Queries option and I tried checking that as it sounded as it matched the problem. However I think this may have triggered quota problems mentioned in another thread. I now get the following error:

    Failed to get data. Error:
    Quota exceeded for quota metric ‘photoslibrary.googleapis.com/read_requests’ and limit ‘ReadsPerMinutePerUser’ of service ‘photoslibrary.googleapis.com’ for consumer ‘project_number:667237268546’.

    I’ve unchecked the Chain Queries option again and experimented with using a search filter to find the albums to select but I still need to click on Load More to see them all.

    This is the thread that first brought this to attention. To address this I had made the queries chain automatically. But putting in the automatic chaining caused API quota violations, so I made query-chaining disabled by default and only people who weren’t facing quota violations would be able to chain the queries.

    There is no way around your situation – you have to stick to the “Load More” option, because the alternative to chain queries (which was designed to address this precise situation) will trigger the API quota limit.

    This type of a problem is not something that can be resolved with code – the only way to truly address this is for Google to fix its API: it either has to allow searching by album id, or it has to raise the ridiculously low limit for the number of albums returned from 50 to something like 200.

    No worries. Thanks for the clarification.
