How to use Gmail ?

[pscott-au]

I am able to access the top level API exposed methods such as

print Dumper $gapi_agent->Gmail->Users->getProfile( { userId => 'me' } )->json if ( );

But I am unable to work out how to use any API method that is more deeply described such as Messages::list etc - are these supposed to work or do we need to access the $gapi_agent->api_query lower level method directly for essentially all useful usage?

Yeah, use the api_query method. I was fiddling about with all this about a month ago and I was able to pull off batch calls and other stuff with it. My memory is a bit fuzzy and the code is a giant hack job but it worked. I'll post it to a github repo so you can look at it. I have to check to make sure no credentials are in there before I do that.

OK, I shared a repo with you. It has a module I was using to screw around with Moo::Google. Not meant for release. Look in the "hacked_moose_modules" directory. You'll need that module to get the code in my modules to work properly.

I don't know if I left the code in a working state or not. You may need to fuss with it a bit.

I have no problem using the Google GMAIL API - the issue is that WebService::Google::Client doesn't work to access the GMAIL methods deeper than the 3 top level which makes it of no use and requires reverting to lower level calls which means that is just as easy to not use the module at all.

Right. Moo::Google doesn't work with all API calls. You have to use api_query.

[pscott-au]

unless your hacked earlier code version from this repo does actually correctly iterate down the API methods in the discovery document which is really the key issue - is that what you were doing?

That's what I was planning on doing, yes. I needed to learn how the api_query worked though. So I did some experimenting with it. I did write a crude function to convert an api call that didn't work into one that did.

lol - ok - never mind - sorry I shoudl just let you do your thing as probably seems like I'm trolling you - am not - just trying to work out whether there is anything I can align with .. thanks for the response

Look in the API.pm module in my repo, the "get" method. I have to retrace what I did but it basically enables you to do a get api call with a resource, which you can't do with Moo::Google.

[sdondley]

That module also has a "batch" function which was a real bear to figure out. Had to do a lot of hacking to the Client.pm module to get that working.
