Google is finally rolling out its Google Photos library API for the developers out there. As part of the program, interested Android developers can bake the Library feature in their app. This means that they can use the power and features of Photos in their app including basic functions such as uploading. This also includes more complex features including the robust search functionality that Google has packed in its ‘Google Photos’ app including search by format or the date and providing a description of what is present in the photo. Other features include organizing albums including adding titles and location information.

The partner program will provide increased quota limits, access to partner support channels, latest features, and an official badge that developers can use for their marketing.
