Frequently asked questions
- Can I try the Google Photos APIs without joining the partner program?
- Yes, you can integrate with the Photos APIs without joining the partner program. However, if your app is likely to exceed the general availability quota limit, express interest in the Google Photos partner program.
- Where can I find the integration guidelines and best practices?
- As you integrate with the Photos APIs, you should keep the Acceptable use policy, Technical best practices, and UX guidelines in mind.
- My submission was not accepted into the partner program. Can I re-apply?
- If you applied more than 6 months ago, please re-apply with the new information. On the other hand, if you applied within the last 6 months, reply to the email we sent you regarding your submission, with some information about what has changed in your use case or quota requirements.
- Can I use Google Photos logos in my marketing efforts?
- As part of the partner program, you will have access to some of the Google Photos brand assets, including a "Works with Google Photos" badge that you can use in your marketing efforts.
- I have been accepted to the partner program. How do I launch my integration?
- Before you can launch your application, it must pass two reviews:
- OAuth verification review
- Google Photos APIs integration review (details supplied upon acceptance into the Google Photos partner program)
- I am seeing an "unverified app" error when using my application. How do I submit my app for verification?
This error means you have not yet completed the OAuth verification review. This verification is independent and in addition to any reviews conducted as part of the Google Photos partner program.
You must submit a verification request to remove the unverified app warning on the screen. Find out more about unverified apps and get answers to frequently asked questions about app verification in the Help Center.
