Getting only 1000 pics from Google Picasa, I am using &showAll

Question

I am trying to retrieve list of media from my Instant folder (auto backup). I have 10,000+ photos.

As suggested here:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!original/google-picasa-data-api/SW5T13KKneY/S5CrcfOt4kUJ , I need to append the URL with &showAll parameter, even with this I am unable to get the entire list. Here is the URL that I am using. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

Answer 1

You need to include the start-index parameter, getting 1,000 items at a time. It seems that 1,000 is the largest max-results you can have. However, I'm currently having issues indexing past 10,002.

Edit:

This person shows how you can get the sub albums in the Instant Upload folder.
