Amazing tips and big thanks

would I need to verify the Application in order to get the token refresh to be able to send and reply to emails and read them?

[@DaimtoAps]

you only need to verify the app to get ride of the app not verified warning

Excellent content! How can I use the api to send email from a self hosted program?

[@DaimtoAps]

Yes you should be able to do that

Where is the code link?

[@DaimtoAps]

I dont think I have put the code live yet.

Hi, would you be able to share a step by step tutorial for setting up a gmail account for being accessed via scripts in python? I'm getting bit lost on the whole oauth2, credentials and token stuff. Thank you

[@DaimtoAps]

You don't need to Setup Gmail at all it's just about creating the credentials JSON file and you should be good to go with the code I have here

[@karthik448]

@@DaimtoAps Thanks for replying to me. The credentials json is for a service account right? How do we link this account to have read access to an user's gmail inbox? Apologies if all these sound too basic as I'm having trouble on where to start with the whole thing.

Do you have Google Workspace?

[@karthik448]

@@DaimtoAps Yes, I mangaged to get the whole Auth thing working finally. I can now download messages and attachments as well. However now stuck at attempting to forward messages. Seems I can't just get the messages and send them to a new recipient via gmail Api. Even the gmail web app doesn't have an option to bull forward messages so I don't think it will be a straightforward task to do this in a script.

[@DaimtoAps]

A forward is just a send with the body of the message you are forwarding

How do I delete emails

[@DaimtoAps]

Your connecting directly to the SMTP server so use the same commands to delete messages.

Hello, dear DAIMTO Developer Tips channel. Is there any way to read emails from Gmail without using domain-wide delegation and OAuth consent screen?

[@DaimtoAps]

SMTP server with an apps passy

Where do I get the token.json file? please reply

[@DaimtoAps]

Its created when the user authorizes the app

@@DaimtoAps I am literally having troubles, please suggest me some good resource

My right ear feels left out.

[@DaimtoAps]

I will have to make it up to it next time 😃

[@MrBen580]

Wouldve loved to have the code available to copy and paste lol Thank you for the video

[@DaimtoAps]

Most of the time I put the code on my website so you can just grab it

[@narudh]

this kinda sucks because user has to click the oauth consent screen ...

[@DaimtoAps]

Well that is the point. The user needs to consent to your access

[@marcobattistella02]

Really thanks for the amazing tutorial :)
