Question

We want to import contacts photos from google API.

Following code was working for me.

for email, name, entry in feed:
    photo = client.GetPhoto(entry)
    if photo:
        fname = str(uuid.uuid4()) + '.jpg'
        image_file = open(dname + '/' + fname, 'wb')
        image_file.write(photo)
        image_file.close()
        result[email] = '/media/import/%s/%s' % (dir, fname)

Now, for some reasons, we get in files atom feed copy. So method GetPhoto no working.

Any ideas, why it happened and what is current way to retrieve contacts photo?

Here is work around google API changes. Now we’re using direct requests to API.

for email, name, entry in feed:
    photo_link = e.GetPhotoLink()
    if photo_link:
        request = http.request(
            'GET',
            photo_link.href,
            headers={
                'Authorization':'OAuth %s' % client.current_token.access_token
            }
        )

        if request.status == 200:
            photo = str(request.read())
            fname = str(uuid.uuid4()) + '.jpg'
            image_file = open(dname + '/' + fname, 'wb')
            image_file.write(photo)
            image_file.close()
            result[email] = '/media/import/%s/%s' % (tid, fname) #str(photo.href) #
