    <title>Using Picasa Web Albums</title>

    <para>
        Picasa Web Albums is a service which allows users to maintain albums of
        their own pictures, and browse the albums and pictures of others.
        The <acronym>API</acronym> offers a programmatic interface to this service, allowing
        users to add to, update, and remove from their albums, as well as
        providing the ability to tag and comment on photos.
    </para>

    <para>
        Access to public albums and photos is not restricted by account,
        however, a user must be logged in for non-read-only access.
    </para>

    <para>
        For more information on the <acronym>API</acronym>, including
        instructions for enabling <acronym>API</acronym> access, refer to the <ulink

        <title>Authentication</title>

        <para>
            The <acronym>API</acronym> provides authentication via AuthSub (recommended)
            and ClientAuth. <acronym>HTTP</acronym> connections must be authenticated for write
            support, but non-authenticated connections have read-only access.

        <title>Connecting To The Service</title>

        <para>
            The Picasa Web Albums <acronym>API</acronym>, like all GData <acronym>API</acronym>s, is
            based off of the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP), an <acronym>XML</acronym> based format
            for managing web-based resources. Traffic between a client and the servers occurs over
            <acronym>HTTP</acronym> and allows for both authenticated and unauthenticated connections.
        </para>

        <para>
            Before any transactions can occur, this connection needs to be made. Creating a
            connection to the Picasa servers involves two steps: creating an <acronym>HTTP</acronym>
            client and binding a <classname>Zend_Gdata_Photos</classname>
            service instance to that client.

            <para>
                The Google Picasa <acronym>API</acronym> allows access to both public and private
                photo feeds. Public feeds do not require authentication, but are read-only and offer
                reduced functionality. Private feeds offers the most complete functionality but
                requires an authenticated connection to the Picasa servers. There are three
                authentication schemes that are supported by Google Picasa :

                        provides direct username/password authentication to the
                        Picasa servers. Since this scheme requires that users
                        provide your application with their password, this
                        authentication is only recommended when other
                        authentication schemes are insufficient.

                        Google proxy server. This provides the same level of
                        convenience as ClientAuth but without the security
                        risk, making this an ideal choice for web-based

            <title>Creating A Service Instance</title>

            <para>
                In order to interact with the servers, this library provides the
                <classname>Zend_Gdata_Photos</classname> service class. This class provides a common
                interface to the Google Data and Atom Publishing Protocol models and assists in
                marshaling requests to and from the servers.
            </para>

            <para>
                Once deciding on an authentication scheme, the next step is to create an instance of
                <classname>Zend_Gdata_Photos</classname>. The class constructor takes an instance of
                <classname>Zend_Http_Client</classname> as a single argument. This provides an
                interface for AuthSub and ClientAuth authentication, as both of these require
                creation of a special authenticated <acronym>HTTP</acronym> client. If no arguments
                are provided, an unauthenticated instance of <classname>Zend_Http_Client</classname>
                will be automatically created.
            </para>

            <para>
                The example below shows how to create a service class using ClientAuth
                authentication:

// Create an instance of the service
$service = new Zend_Gdata_Photos($client);

            <para>
                A service instance using AuthSub can be created in a similar, though slightly more

                inadvertently. When deleting a entry through the service class, if the entry has
                been modified since it was last fetched, an exception will be thrown, unless
