Scope photoslibrary.readonly will be removed from the Library API after March 31, 2025 - Google Photos Picker API should be used instead.

[WilfriedBl]

According to the announcement of Google Posted September 2024, the scope photoslibrary.readonly will be removed from the Library API after March 31, 2025. Google says: "If your app needs users to select photos or albums from their entire library, use the new Google Photos Picker API."
So, if I understood correctly, after March 2025, google-photos-api-python-quickstart won't work anymore. Did anybody successfully implement it yet using the Google Photos Picker API?
Thanks

Hi @WilfriedBl,
I saw the announcement - I'm not sure yet how to use the new APIs.
I'll update as soon as I'll be able.

Thanks for the quick response @ido-ran .
I tried a quick and dirty way to call the picker API but with no success so far and getting a "googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 403 when requesting https://photospicker.googleapis.com/v1/sessions?alt=json returned "Request had insufficient authentication scopes."
Crossing my fingers.

I've created https://github.com/ido-ran/google-photos-picker-api-quickstart with example of using Picker API
