Using batchUpadte method, I'm trying to connect multiple 360 images from the source image.

e.g. Below is my python request for batchUpdate method:

update_photo_url = 'https://streetviewpublish.googleapis.com/v1/photos:batchUpdate'

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer {}".format("ya29.Glx6BO91jWbj...."), "Content-Length": "0", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

update_body = {
  "updatePhotoRequests": [
    {
      "updateMask": "connections",
      "photo": {
        "photoId": {
          "id": "image_1"
        },
        "connections": [
          {
            "target": {
              "id": "image_2"
            }
          },
          {
            "target": {
              "id": "image_3"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "updateMask": "connections",
      "photo": {
        "photoId": {
          "id": "image_3"
        },
        "connections": [
          {
            "target": {
              "id": "image_4"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}
update_response = requests.post(update_photo_url,headers=headers,json=update_body)
update_response.text

After sending this request, I'm getting status 200 OK but there is one problem, I have four images. I'm making connection between images as in: 

image_1 -> image_2, image_3
image_3 -> image_4

Using above code, I'm able to go from image_2 -> image_1, image_1 -> image_3, image_3 -> image_1, image_3 -> image_4 and image_4 -> image_3 but why I'm unable to go from image_1 -> image_2?

Please help me to resolve this issue. Can anybody tell, what is wrong in my request?

Have you checked the connections in the mobile Street View app or the browser? The browser sometimes adds or looses connections, but I have found the mobile App to be the best way to see the "ground truth" that is stored on Googles servers.

  • I have checked the connections in the mobile street view app and browser also but the connections are not visible. – Menu Jul 05 '17 at 10:02
  • Are all connections missing, or just the connection image_1 to image_2? Did you also add the connections in the other direction, so that panoramas are linked both ways? Do you you see the connections if you make a batchGet request? – Thomas Jul 05 '17 at 11:29
  • If I open same link in the desktop's browser then the connections are visible except image_1 -> image_2 connection but If I open same link in the street view app or mobile browser then all the connection are missing. – Menu Jul 05 '17 at 11:34
  • Sometimes it takes up to 24h, before it propagates, but you should see them in the "edit connections" screen on the Street View app. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7011737?hl=en btw: Have you disabled "auto connect" in the app? – Thomas Jul 05 '17 at 11:52
  • I have published tour using Google street view API not using Street view app. Already 24 hrs have been completed but still one connection is missing from desktop browser. – Menu Jul 05 '17 at 12:15

    You can *check* the connections in the App to see if you transferred them correctly with your app. You can can also use batchGet to *check* if the transfer was correct. – Thomas Jul 05 '17 at 14:03
