Immich-go supports this already, might be something to look into if you're just re-inventing the wheel. If there's another motive then disregard the comment

You should post the actual request you are creating.
Also this is more of what API keys are used for

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 7:40 PM

I know that I can do it with Immich-go, but I would like to integrate it on my script that aims to automate the whole process of migration from Google Photos into Synology Photos or Immich in just one click (for Synology the process is finished and working properly but for Immich I need to investigate a bit more on the use of the API)

My request is simple. A simple payload with the album name but I don’t know which header should I pass to use my bearer token

J

Yes, if I manage to make Immich API work, the intention is to do all the migration process between Google Photos to Synology Photos or Immich and also from Synology Photos to Immich

Yes I saw this API doc, but it doesn’t show how to pass the bearer token

Jjaimetur Yes I saw this API doc, but it doesn’t show how to pass the bearer token

T

Tempest•1/25/25, 7:44 PM

if you click "authorize" in the top right, it'll provide options

T

Tempest•1/25/25, 7:44 PM

but I'd probably suggest api-key versus bearer token

TTempest if you complete that I'd be interested in it 👀

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 7:45 PM

Sure, you can follow my project on GitHub (https://github.com/jaimetur/OrganizeTakeoutPhotos)

TTempest but I'd probably suggest api-key versus bearer token

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 7:46 PM

API key is more difficult to understand for not experienced users, that’s why I would prefer to let users authenticate with their own mail/pass

Interesting project. Thanks

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 7:59 PM

I have found on the install-wizard.sh this piece of code that give me a clue on how to insert the bearer token in the API request header

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 7:59 PM

library_id=$(curl -s --location --request POST "http://127.0.0.1:2283/api/libraries" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken" \
--data-raw "{
"ownerId": "$user_id", \
"importPaths": ["$local_mount_path"],
"name": "Existing Media"
}")

T

Tempest•1/25/25, 8:00 PM

ah my bad, I thought you were having issues retrieving the token. But in any case that project did make use of bearer

J

jaimeturOP•1/25/25, 8:00 PM

I guess that I should include this on the header:

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken" \

T

Tempest•1/25/25, 8:03 PM

then again that was visible with the api example

if choosing to use bearer as an auth

I am using this header on my request but it does not work:

HEADERS = {
"Authorization": f"Bearer {SESSION_TOKEN}",

what's the full request?

not sure if you made any progres, however I did manage to get my albums out of synology photos. Here's the snippet in case it saves you any time

sudo su - postgres

psql -d synofoto

\COPY (  SELECT a.id, a.name as albumName, r.id_item, u.filename, f.name as dirName,
         CONCAT(f.name, '/', u.filename) as path
  FROM public.normal_album AS a
  JOIN many_item_has_many_normal_album AS r ON a.id = r.id_normal_album
  JOIN unit AS u ON r.id_item = u.id
  JOIN folder AS f ON u.id_folder = f.id
) TO '/volume1/user/postgres/albums.csv' WITH CSV HEADER;

sudo su - postgres

psql -d synofoto

\COPY (  SELECT a.id, a.name as albumName, r.id_item, u.filename, f.name as dirName,
         CONCAT(f.name, '/', u.filename) as path
  FROM public.normal_album AS a
  JOIN many_item_has_many_normal_album AS r ON a.id = r.id_normal_album

Thank you. I finally manage to do it from my Script

J

jaimeturOP•2/1/25, 9:18 PM

BTW, I will paste here the repository to the tool that I am developing (not sure if this is the place to post it, feel free to delete if not or move to a more appropriate place). The tool is still in alpha release, so, so you can expect bugs or some functionalities still not complete but may be useful for some of you
