One of the things I would want included is any and all metadata / tags that Google Photos adds to photos. For instance:

  - inferred/corrected geotags
  - inferred/corrected time of day
  - names or at least UUIDs or something of people in each photo
I almost typed another bullet along the lines of "the top 10 most-likely features identified in the photo", like if it's a photo of a menu or a tower or whatever, then "menu" / "tower", but, it's probably encoded as some kind of embedding in some space like word2vec or something less ancient, and it wouldn't even really be that useful for them to give out the raw embedded through the API, would it?

Maybe the last one (faces/people) isn't even possible, if they don't reify found people into some actual tag or something, maybe you just have to search by person and gphotos just shows you the photos with embeddings less than some cutoff cosine distance from that person's embedding.
