DB of all photos without download #324

Closed xclaim494 closed 3 years ago

xclaim494 commented 3 years ago

I apologize for this question in advance .. but is there a way to query all google photos (maybe download metadata in a db) without having to download all the images ?

metadata like filename, size, date crrated, CRC, other exif information

i am finding it difficult to figure out if this is possible ?

I do have other SW that does deltas like Backblaze, RSYNCH etc etc but will be surprised if Google Photos api's dont allow this ?

TY in advance.

Sure.

pipenv run gphotos-sync --index-only

This creates the sqlite database only and does no downloads.

try --help for a full list of the options, you can also filter by date range etc.
