How to extract data from Picasaweb using the Buzz API

…and you’ll see the JSON data for one of my recent shots on PicasaWeb. Google have been working on improvements for the Buzz API. I am having a play and wondering if anyone knows how I could render this to a nice little web page. I will work out how best to do this when I have time but if you have done this already, I’d love to know how you did it :-)

Moving on from this I can grab a list of data for my albums, as follows…

A whole load of possibilities are open here. Lovely stuff!

I wonder whether you have worked out how to get a page to render using this javascript info?

I am keen to see how the whole project works out, also. :-)

I have indeed using JS Fiddle – go to http://jsfiddle.net/axFXP/ and you will see how it works when used in conjunction with JQuery and some very simple CSS. You can play with this one to your hearts content, as it’s a copy of my original “fiddle”…. JS Fiddle is very cool by the way.

I am going to add some code to my blog at some point to incorporate this…
