Is there a way of requesting photos by filename in Google Photos API? I couldn't find it anywhere.

I managed to create a Google Photo Album and upload many photos to this album using the Google Photo API.
I need also using Google Photo API again, to select only a couple of these photos and create a url in order to share this.
I would appreciate any help,

I want to write an app that fetches a random photo from my Google Photos set of photos using the Google Photos API. This is the new Google Photos, not the old one that was linked to a Google Drive.
In my review of the API Docs, it seems that you can list albums, and perhaps list what the albums contain, but it's not obvious to me how to download a photo itself. Can anyone figure it out?
Try with this API: https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/list
It lets you list the photos from your library and returns two parameters, productUrl and baseUrl, that you could use to get the photo.
The new Google Photos API seems to allow the creation of albums and uploading images to albums, but I'd like to organize existing photos in Google Photos into new albums; is this currently possible somehow?
We can choose cat photos taken in a location in the google photos app, but I wonder if there is any API for that?
I did some search and people suggested we can use the old google+ API for upload, but I'm looking into getting a list of photos that match the search.
Or, perhaps to get a list of photos in a given public photo albums?
It looks like the FQL query to return photos from a user's Mobile Uploads album doesn't return all of a user's uploaded the photos. This is the case for any photo groups (when uploading more than 1 photo at a time) from the Facebook Camera app. These photos get grouped into their own data entity, and do not get returned when I query for all photos from Mobile Uploads via FQL. However, if I do the same query but via the Graph Api, all those photos do get returned, so it looks like there's an inconsistency between the way the Graph Api returns the photos data and the way FQL returns it. The Graph Api seems to return a more comprehensive set of results.
I've found that if you upload multiple photos they gets categorised as a status update and you need the user's "user_status" permission to access them through the API, even though they're in the mobile uploads album (any other photo in there you can access with only the user_photos permission)
