Google Photo Library API - Authorization

So, I wanted to do a WEB page for CHMV . One of the features would be a page where you could see all the photos the club has been accumulated over the years. As they are stored in Google Photos (user: clubhielomadridveteranos@gmail.com) I thought it would be easy to use the API to list the albums and show some photos directly from Google Photos on the web page. I kept trying and trying nd, at one point, I decided to try to read the documentation and really understand whatwas happening "under the hood". That's when I found it..... 😢 " Note that the Library API does not support service accounts; to use this API, users must be signed in to a valid Google Account. Link   I.e., I will not be able to do what I hoped for. The API requires the visiting user to Sign into Google account and it would be HIS photo album that would be listed (not the clubs).
