smugmug.albums.get Album Query

pbkpbk Registered Users Posts: 2 Beginner grinner
Hi the API is really really poorly documented and was wondering if any one knows how to query as an anonymous user all of my albums i figured that the call would be something like this
http://api.smugmug.com/hack/json/1.2.0/?method=smugmug.albums.get&APIKey=MYKEY&SessionID=MYSESSIONID

or is this not the right call to make?

because i get the following response

jsonXXXX({"stat":"fail","code":4,"message":"invalid user"});

    Have you logged in yet and gotten your sessionID?

    I am getting the session through smugmug.login.anonymously .... does the
    smugmug.albums.get need to be non anonymous?

    If it does then what would be the preferred way to query your publicly visible albums ?

    That should work. headscratch.gif Do you have your API key? I'd try using rest and straight from a browser to see what results you get. ne_nau.gif

    if you are creating a session from smugmug.login.anonymously, no user info is tied to the session obviously...so when you call smugmug.albums.get, you need to provide the NickName parameter.

    Would the sessionID be the same? headscratch.gif
