Famo.us: Slideshow tutorial with the Picasa API is out of date

Question

I've been working on the famo.us Slideshow tutorial and realised that the API is no longer working.

Any ideas how can I still make this to work without the Picasa API?

Answer 1

You can keep the API by using the following code for SlideData.js

You can make it work by creating the objects returned by the url + parameters below and returning them as the JSON object if you do not want to use the API.

define(function(require, exports, module) {
    var SlideData = {
        picasaUrl: 'https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/all',
        queryParams: '?kind=photo&q=puppy&max-results=5&imgmax=720&alt=json',
        defaultImage: 'https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Roszbra0TlI/VB-fE83NAXI/AAAAAAAAACU/ITmhyZMHZrk/s720/cute%252520looking%252520white%252520and%252520black%252520french%252520Bulldog%252520Puppy.jpg'
    };

    SlideData.getUrl = function() {
        return SlideData.picasaUrl + SlideData.queryParams;
    };

    SlideData.parse = function(data) {
        var urls = [];
        data = JSON.parse(data);
        var entries = data.feed.entry;
        for (var i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
            var media = entries[i].media$group;
            urls.push(media.media$content[0].url);
        }
        return urls;
    };

    module.exports = SlideData;
});
