Overview
This node interacts with the Google Photos API to list albums in a user's Google Photos library. It supports fetching all albums or limiting the number of results, with options to exclude albums not created by the app. This is useful for applications that need to display or process a user's photo albums, such as photo management tools, backup services, or media organization apps.
Use Case Examples
- A photo management app listing all user albums to display them in a gallery view.
- A backup service retrieving a limited number of albums to sync with a local storage.
- An analytics tool filtering albums created only by the app for usage statistics.
