 We want to incrementally download our own photos out of Google Photos.
 
 Google Photos used to have an API to do this (the Picasa Web Albums API) but
-they removed it, replacing it with a new API that doesn't let you download your
-original photos. They instead let you download your photos with mangled EXIF,
-stripping location (and maybe recompressing the image bytes?).
-
-We can get our original photos out with Google Takeout, but only manually, and
-very slowly. We don't want to have to remember to do it (or remember to renew
-the time-limited scheduled takeouts) and we'd like our photos mirrored in
-seconds or minutes, not weeks.

-In https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/issues/1144#issuecomment-525007239, Brad
-Fitzpatrick said that we might have to give up on APIs and resort to scraping,
-noting that the Chrome DevTools Protocol makes this pretty easy. Brad hacked up
-some Go code to drive Chrome (using https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) and do
-a basic download and then Mathieu Lonjaret made this tool, fleshing out the
-idea.

 What if Google Photos breaks this tool on purpose or accident?
