API call for all images in album

Shizam

An API call to get at least the urls if not all the info for all the images in an album would be nice. As it is I have to get a list of image IDs, then for each ID make another call, if there are 100 images in an album thats 100 requests! Or at least make it so that

smugmug.images.getInfo

Can accept multiple ImageID arguments, so I could get back like 10 at a time...

Hi Sizam,

Welcome to dgrin

by calling smugmug.images.get with the Heavy option set...it returns all the info for the images contained with that album. I am pretty sure you will find that a lot easier than having to call smugmug.images.getInfo.

Cheers,

Thanks,
and thanks for the quick reply. I just tried with &heavy=1 and with &heavy=true and both only returned the same lite info:

<rsp stat="ok">
<method>smugmug.images.get</method><images></images>
</rsp>
<#rsp stat="ok">
<#method>smugmug.images.get
<#Images>
<#Image id="122357310"/>
<#/Images>
<#/rsp>

This is for:

smugmug.images.get


UPDATE: Heh, nm, I had to spec it as Heavy not heavy

Great, that worked! Not sure if this is the right place to post it but is it possible to get write access to the API WiKi? I didn't find doco on that heavy bit and it'd be real easy to just add a little bit o' info as I go along...

Hi Sizam,

I'm glad you got it working.

I am actually in the process of writing a heap of new functionality for API 1.2.1, as part of that process I am going to totally overhaul the API documentation, so don't worry for the moment.

Cheers,

David
