How to tag names on google photos? - google-plus

I have downloaded the google photos. And I've uploaded more than 6,000 personal photos. But I find it hard to tag person names?
Where can I tag persons' names so that I can search them?
I've seen the google I/O and the speaker show that Google-Photos can recognize his daughter. But I can't even tag nor search a person's name.
However I know that I can upload photos to Google+ so that I can tag them. But it sounds crazy to share all my 6000+ photos to Google Plus.
What should I to to reach the same effect on the Google I/O.(Make all my photos searchable?)

Well, I got it.
The only reason is that face detecting is not available out side the US.(I am from China)
To solve this,just use VPN the first time you start the APP.
(On Android clear app data & On iOS re-install it)

API to clean scanned documents

I have a system in PHP, and i will receive photos from users, that are scanned photos of their personal documents... and i want to smart remove (auto crop) the boundaries of the photos, to leave ONLY the personal document (as a drivers license).
I spent hours looking, but were not able to find an API service that does that...i ll i can find was SDK for ios or android...
Any one has a suggestion?
I would want to replicate what dropbox did:

Thanks
Filestack provides these services. In particular, the Document Detection endpoint has the following description:
You can detect your document in the image, transform it to fully fit the image...

Is there a way to download Google Plus photos from the command line?

I have a large number of photo albums on Google Plus. I am looking for an efficient way to download them. Had I put them on Google Drive, I could have used skicka, which has a few annoyances but overall works very well.
I'm looking for a similar command-line style interface that will allow me to download an album at a time in a more scriptable way than just going through and clicking all the links in Google Plus.
Does anyone know if a tool like this exists? If I could make my Google Plus photos appear in Google Drive this wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately that doesn't appear to be possible.
You can change a setting in Goggle Drive and still use skicka (as you suggested initially) to access the photos then.
How Google Drive works with Google Photos covers two interesting aspects:
View your Google Drive photos & videos in Google Photos
...
Organize your photos & videos into Google Drive folders
The 3rd section provides clear hints about how to make Google Photos appear inside My Drive as a folder. (The 2nd section is also supposed to describe this, but it's not useful for the automation we are looking for.)
Namely:
Go to .
Turn on the setting that creates a Google Photos folder in your "My Drive" folder (if you already turned this setting on, you can skip
this step).
On the right, click the "gear" icon > Settings.
Next to
"Automatically put your Google Photos into a folder in My Drive,"
check the box and then Done.
After this there is indeed such a folder in My Drive, and it accessible through skicka as well:
$ skicka ls /'Google Photos'/
shows all the photos. (And they must be downloadable, of course.)
(BTW, that's your question where I learned about skicka from, thanks a lot! Now I'm using it to upload directories with folders into Google Drive and Google Photos. It's a pity that the problem of creating albums with a tool or via Google Drive remains unsolved.)
Use Google Takeout to download them all at once. Just pick Google Photos and uncheck anything else that's there. I don't know of any other way to batch download them all.

try to get content in google plus from China

I am a developer from China where we cannot access content from google plus or facebook due to some "special reason(been blocked)", and I want to get some wonderful content from google+, and put them into my online education website, all content is about learning knowledge.
So my first solution is: call google+ api to get these content, then store them into my site DB(of course, I will write clearly where those are from), but this solution is only for the text, for images, most of them were stored in googleusercontent.com(which is also blocked in China), and I don't want to download these images then store to my own website(overload is too big).
I want to transfer these pictures into other websites(not been blocked in China), then I noticed site: getpocket.com can save image from other websites, and they seem have some cache, can I use this feature? after get image url from google+, then call getpocket api to save this image, but don't know where api will return the cached image url), is it possible do this?
Does anyone have good solution for this images? so I can transfer these good learning knowledge to Chinese people?
(google+ activity api like this: https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v1/people/108305986241738899171/activities/public?maxResults=20&key=)
thanks everybody
I use mongoDB to store image which will be transfer to base64 string. e.g: http://www.tomylearn.com/netTest/index/listInfonews.do?categoryid=47

How to search for videos using GettyImages Connect API

I'm trying to use this API to search for videos. I have a client key, secret, and everything I need.
I have scoured the API doc page up and down several times, and can't find any reference to video search.
The on-site search allows video search, and the API works fine when I search videos.
I use:
'https://connect.gettyimages.com/v3/search/images/editorial?phrase=' + query + '&fields=id%2Ctitle%2Ccaption%2Cpreview to search for images, and I've tried every combination of the word 'video' in that to search for videos, to no avail.
The images search works great, by the way.
The "swagger" interactive page (most annoying way to display an API doc, by the way) has a section for images, search/images, etc, but no video search or video (using video id).
the v3 API release notes states that they now have support for video search and download. Where?
Thanks to anyone that can lend a hand here, this is probably the most confusing API I've ever encountered.
Thank you!
sorry it's taken so long answer your question! At the time you posted, I don't think we had our video-specific search and download endpoints up. They are there now, though they're still in beta. Should be that way for a couple more weeks.
https://connect.gettyimages.com/swagger/ui/index.html#!/Search
Searching for "video" via the image search endpoints will not give you video files.
Thanks,

How can I use Appstore API to get top100 list? What is the common architecture to build a appstore application website?

I've found a PDF file of Appstore search API, that I can use some parameters to fetch an application's detail information.(sorry I forgot the download url, but I found it in stackoverflow)
But there are so many sites that show you a Top100 list(like appshopper.com), and such as Mobclix.com also provide you the rank information.How can they do that? I didn't find the related API in the PDF file.
I also found an Appstore API by ABTO(http://www.abtollc.com/AppStoreAPI.aspx), but I really wanna do it by myself.
If I clear the 1st question, then I'd like to know the common architecture of building a website based on the appstore data. Do I need a database to cache the appstore's data, and create a batch to fetch the data frequently, execute like once per hour? I think it might not be clever to access the appstore for every user request, and may be there is a access limit of appstore?
Thanks for your help!
You can use the following link to generate a url for querying iTunes Data for things like the top 100 apps in a particular category.
http://itunes.apple.com/rss/generator/
For the top 100 free productivity apps the generated url is
http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/ws/RSS/topfreeapplications/sf=143441/limit=100/genre=6007/xml
The PDF that you link to is very old and hasn't been updated in quite some time, but even if you did get that working, it doesn't have "Top 100" selections (to my knowledge).
1.The way people do to get information from the AppStore is to parse the Xml returned from ITunes web call, and get the information they want. There's no official api release from apple.
You may be right, its more clever to save a copy of app information on your server.
