I make every year a book with 100 (or 150) new for me animal species. I use blurb.com, where you can create the layout the way you want and add as much text as you want. It’s not a “thing” though, I do it manually. ;-) Create the layout, choose the photos, write the text… It’s a lot of work, but I really enjoy the result.

seen that, after asked this question. so i look for something like that but with result like in first answear. more photo album style. maybe i would have to create it with this api…
It sounds like you’re in need of two separate things here: a way to export data and a graphics program to compile it. Professional programs like Adobe Photoshop would allow you to create a template, then use a spreadsheet to plug in variable data like text and images. A cheaper alternative would might be Affinity, Gimp, or Canva. You could also hire a layout artist to do all that for you :-)
One word of warning: Most images on the internet are 72dpi. For photo-quality prints, most people recommend using a minimum of 300dpi. That being said, you can usually get away with 200dpi without super obvious pixellation.
