You might consider pointing to earlier videos regarding the creation of the oauth2 credentials since they are a needed step for this tutorial. A new viewer might not know how to do that.

Thanks for putting this video together. I used your code in combination with other code I'd found and got email sends to work via python and the API. So a big thumbs up, thanks.

Does it work in production environment???

[OutlawJackC]

Almost thought this didnt work but I just needed to delete token.json and login again since I changed the SCOPE lol
Thanks for the video, it helped :)

hello I'm new to API and programming, did you write the source code for google.py? if you do. do you have a separate video of this source code?

[shadan]

Hie, if you see this. What version of Google module were you using in this? In case you remember, thanks.

Hi @Jie Jenn
at @7:51 where you are authorizing through the browser UI. Is this a one time thing? Because I will need to send mails from a container.

[scrapingtool]

Hey, thanks for the video. I run, it seems there is no issue but the gmail page does not pop up.... Would you know why?

[mananjain]

I'm not able to figure it out, that the what is the difference between Google module and google module

[olusolaadenekan]

If I need to send to multiple email in csv, what will replace the "me" in the ` ='me',

[subhankarchakraborty]

what is in that client_secret.json file?

[lawsherbert]

Hey Jie, I get this Error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'client_secret.json'

That file is in the same directory as the python script so I don't know why it doesnt find it. I dowloaded it from Google and it was originally called credentials.json but changed it's name to suit your script
Any ideas?

[boomlaboom]

I wanna ask, i want to get authentication for an email from user input and i want the login page opened from guest mode in chrome? Is there any code to do that? Thank you
