CompanyCam API: list photos, including tags in the response

I’m using the API to list photos on a project:

https://companycam.readme.io/reference/listprojectphotos

I need to retrieve the tags associated with each photo, but the response from this endpoint does not appear to include tag data.

Right now, it looks like getting tags requires a separate request for each individual photo:
GET /v2/photos/{photo_id}/tags

This does not scale well for real projects. Many projects have hundreds of photos, and each photo may have multiple tags. To build a complete project photo/tag view, an integration may need to make hundreds of additional API requests just to retrieve tag data.

That creates performance issues, increases the likelihood of hitting rate limits, and makes tags difficult to use reliably in external integrations.

The Project Photos API already supports filtering by tag IDs, which suggests the tag data is most likely readily available server-side when querying project photos, it's just being discarded rather than included in the response. It would be very nice if the list photos API at least had the option to include tag data in the response, even if it's turned off by default.


Thanks for your help.

Project Showcases + SEO

cody.howen
Hi All.

Who else here is using the CompanyCam Project Showcases feature?
  • Any tips on utilizing this feature and also increasing SEO? It seems that separate, localized webpages increase SEO? tips from CompanyCam reps and also users welcomed!
  • How is it getting up to speed with your projects? Do you have a goal for total number of showcases?
I am thrilled with how it has turned out on our website. We inserted a disclaimer that what is published on our website is not a comprehensive list of all projects - this allowed me the peace of mind to get going knowing that it won't ever be perfect but slowly adding showcases will only help us.

  • Question Question
Why do payment notification have to go to all users?

Jeremy@ESW
We are using the payment option in CompanyCam, which was a little rocky at first, but has improved. Since day 1 every user on our account gets an email about "You just got paid!", it would be nice if only certain users got this notification. Our installers in the field don't need to get these types of notifications, nor does some our backend office people.

Thought?

3 Local SEO Tips for Contractors

BLB
Getting noticed as a contractor online is tough, but these three things usually make the biggest difference:
  • Own your local "NAP": Make sure your Name, Address, and Phone number are exactly the same everywhere—your site, Facebook, and Google. Even tiny differences can mess with your ranking.
  • Location-specific pages: Instead of just one big service page, build small pages for the specific towns you work in. Mentioning local neighborhoods helps Google connect you to those areas.
  • Keep your Google profile active: Don't just set it and forget it. Post a photo of a finished job or a quick tip once a week. It shows Google you’re actually open for business.
If you’re looking to get more eyes on your services, there's some great info here on search engine optimization.

35 Lessons from 33 Episodes — What We've Learned About What Makes a "Good" Contractor

John Talman
Luke and I have chatted with more than 30 contractors on the Good Contractor Podcast over the last two seasons. Roofers, HVAC techs, landscapers, restorers, solar guys, a pond digger ... you name it.

Every conversation is different, but the patterns start to show up. The ones who are building something that lasts keep saying the same kinds of things, in different ways. So we pulled 35 of those lessons together into one place.

It covers mindset, hiring, customer trust, systems, money, leadership — basically the stuff that separates the contractors who are growing from the ones who feel stuck.

Not a sales pitch. Just the stuff we keep hearing from people who are figuring it out.

Worth a read if you've ever thought "am I the only one dealing with this?" (Spoiler: You're not.)
