Getting Started with Gmail API in Python (For Beginners)

Using Google Gmail API, we can read and send messages, manage drafts and attachments, search threads and messages, work with labels, setup push notifications, and manage Gmail settings.

In this tutorial, I will walk you through 1) how to enable Google Gmail API service and 2) create a Python program to get the authenticated user email address (this is how most of websites use to authenticate a user's credential via Gmail service).

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google_auth_oauthlib'

I dig in everywhere but can't find a solution, can't run the script. Any advice?

[CaspersCuts]

Is this video outdated or just different for different types of users (maybe business vs personal email)? I see a different prerequisite which is "A Google Cloud Platform project with the API enabled. To create a project and enable an API, refer to Create a project and enable the API"

"You can’t sign in because Automation Script sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error
If you are a developer of Automation Script, see error details.
Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch"

i got this erorr
Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch

You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy.

If you're the app developer, register the redirect URI in the Google Cloud Console.

In order to work do we have to frist set up the Google OAuth consent screen ?

Hi, I am new to APIs and python, I am not too sure why I am unable to run the dir function. It tells me that it is unable to find the path, do you know what is the problem?

Thanks for this video! It is really useful. I am trying to include this python function (which works correctly in local environment) as a cloud function but I think there's a problem when using the function run_local_server()... Is it possible to do this in Google Cloud Functions environment?? Thanks!
