I would like to use the Google APIs to add photos to one of my google photos albums.  
What is the best way to do this in Node-RED ?

It is mainly the part related to OAuth 2.0 where I am stuck.  
So for me it is sufficient to get an answer on the more general question:

> How to use google APIs with OAuth 2.0 in Node-RED ?

I have checked [node-red-contrib-google-oauth2](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-google-oauth2) but this node has the following blocking issues:

- [Passing in msg.operation and msg.api not working](https://github.com/pckhib/node-red-contrib-google-oauth2/issues/1)
- documentation issue [How to use this node for Google Photos APIs ?](https://github.com/pckhib/node-red-contrib-google-oauth2/issues/4)

Did you ever figure out anything on Google APIs with OAuth2? I'm working on that, as well.

I am sorry. I am not aware if this issue got ever resolved.
