snoozingmail
A minimal python3 wrapper for the Gmail API that exposes basic message reading, modifying, and sending capabilities.
install
pip install snoozingmail
usage
- You'll first need to create a Cloud Platform project enabled with the python Gmail API, and download the credentials.json file. To do that follow Google's quickstart
- Create a new
Snoozin
object with the path to your credentials.json file like so:snoozingmail.Snoozin("./credentials.json")
- The first instantiation of
Snoozin
with your credentials.json file will prompt you to visit a url to pick what gmail account to give snoozin access to. A token.pickle file will be then be created for automatic authentication with the chosen account for future instantiations.
example
Print message body of first starred message in inbox
import snoozingmail
snoozin = snoozingmail.Snoozin("./credentials.json")
msg_ids = snoozin.get_labeled_msgs(['STARRED', 'INBOX'])
body_text = snoozin.get_msg_body(msg_ids[0])
print(body_text)
