Transferring iCloud Photos to the own service (BE to BE)
How to transfer photos from iCloud to the own backend service, like it’s done for Google photos?
Question marked as
There is currently no Apple-supported backend-to-backend API to pull iCloud Photos into your own service, the way Apple lets users transfer iCloud → Google Photos. You have two realistic options: (1) a native macOS/iOS app that reads from the local Photos library (which is synced with iCloud) and uploads to your backend, or (2) a manual flow where users download their iCloud Photos archive and then import it to your service.
