# Google Photos Toolkit
Bulk organize your media
## How It Works
In your browser, utilizing GP's undocumented web api
## How To Install
1. Install any recommended userscript manager for your browser
- [Violentmonkey](https://violentmonkey.github.io/)
- [Tampermonkey](https://www.tampermonkey.net/)
- If you're on Android, try [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/browsers/mobile/android/) browser, it supports Tampermonkey
2. Click [Install](https://github.com/xob0t/Google-Photos-Toolkit/releases/latest/download/google_photos_toolkit.user.js)
3. Accept installation
## How to use
🚀 Click to expand: Tutorial
1. Go to [photos.google.com](https://photos.google.com/) and click the GPTK icon in the top bar to open it
2. Select a source from which to read from:
3. Use Filters to filter found items with:
4. Select an action to apply to found items:
### Finding space-consuming media
This example groups all space-consuming media in one album.
1. Make sure "Library" is the selected source
2. Select `SPACE-CONSUMING` in the `Space` filter
3. Select action `Add to new album`
### Identify media not in any albums
Select all albums in the `Exclude albums` filter, then use appropriate action.
### Identifying duplicates/similar images
Use `Similarity` filter with action `Add to new album`
Media with similar thumbnails will be added to the album.
### Deleting all media in the library
As simple as selecting "Library" source, clicking `Move to trash`, then clearing it.
### Use GPTK's api
GPTK exports it's api class globally so you can use it in your browser's console.
It's much more powerful than the UI!
Example usage.
Scan the whole library for media owned by `ownerName` and move it to trash if found.
```js
let nextPageId = null;
const ownerName = "John";
do {
const page = await gptkApi.getItemsByUploadedDate(nextPageId);
for (const item of page.items) {
if (item.isOwned) continue;
const itemInfo = await gptkApi.getItemInfoExt(item.mediaKey);
console.log(`${item.mediaKey} is shared by ${itemInfo.owner.name}`);
if (itemInfo.owner.name == ownerName) {
await gptkApi.moveItemsToTrash([itemInfo.dedupKey]);
console.log(`${item.mediaKey} moved to trash`);
}
}
nextPageId = page.nextPageId;
} while (nextPageId);
console.log("DONE");
```

I just found this post, after doing all the work from zero :D
Also, i've made a userscript that parses all responses and logs them to console in a more readable way, you can find it here - [https://github.com/xob0t/Google-Photos-Toolkit/tree/main/tools](https://github.com/xob0t/Google-Photos-Toolkit/tree/main/tools)
