graphql-php-sqlite

A naïve GraphQL interface for querying photos.db from Apple Photos app.

TODO:

• get image data:

  • imagePath

  • name (caption)

  • lat/lng

  • dimensions

  • imageDate

  • type

  • albums where the photo appears in?

• search criteria (all optional):

  • q (freetext) (multi?)

  • {lat,long}{Min,Max} = 12.34567

  • date{Min,Max}

  • type = IMAGE|VIDEO

  • album name

  • keywords automatically assigned by Photos

• fetch aggregate data (result count by date; geolocation clusters?)

• order by = DATE_ASC|DATE_DESC

• pagination

=======

1. Clone the repo
2. Copy photos.db to the same directory where you created the repo subdirectory. NB: You probably want to use a copy of photos.db, since the master database is usually locked in macOS.
3. Make sure you have composer installed, with e.g. brew install composer. Navigate to the project folder and run composer install
4. docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -e LOG_STDOUT=true -e LOG_STDERR=true -e LOG_LEVEL=debug -v $HOME/dev/gallery2:/var/www/html -v $HOME/Pictures/Photos\ Library.photoslibrary:/var/www/html/photosroot fauria/lamp
5. Install and open ChromeiQL extension to Chrome. Endpoint: http://localhost:8080/graphql-php-sqlite/server/api.php

Try with this query:

{
  photos {
    imagePath
    name
  }
}

Or this:

{
  photos(q:"foo") {
    imagePath
    name
  }
}
