Hi,
making the Http Request

https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:search
with this request body
{
"filters": {
"contentFilter": {
"includedContentCategories": [
"PEOPLE"
]
}
the response is empty but my google photos account contains people under the people category.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks.

Thanks for the report, we will take a look.

While we are investigating this, a quick question: Do searches in the Google Photos apps work as expected? For example, does a search for "people" in the Google Photos web app return the expected results?

Thanks for your reply.
Under the People category, not all people in the Google Photos app are shown, but only some. If I use another content category, for example, FOOD or FLOWERS gives the expected results.

Thanks.
