ldraney-gmail-sdk 0.1.0

Python SDK for the Gmail REST API

gmail-sdk

Python SDK for the Gmail REST API. Uses httpx directly — no google-api-python-client.

Install

pip install ldraney-gmail-sdk

Quick Start

from gmail_sdk import GmailClient

# Load token from ~/secrets/google-oauth/gmail-draneylucas.json
client = GmailClient(account="draneylucas")
print(client.get_profile())

# List unread messages
messages = client.list_messages(query="is:unread", max_results=5)

# Send an email
client.send_message(to="[e-mail]", subject="Hello", body="Hi there!")

# Reply to a message
client.reply(message_id="abc123", body="Thanks!")

# Send an HTML email
client.send_message(
    to="[e-mail]",
    subject="Hello",
    body="Plain text fallback",
    html_body="<h1>Hello!</h1><p>This is <b>HTML</b>.</p>",
)

# Reply-all, mark as read/unread
client.reply_all(message_id="abc123", body="Thanks everyone!")
client.mark_as_read(message_id="abc123")
client.mark_as_unread(message_id="abc123")

# List mailbox changes since a history ID (for incremental sync)
profile = client.get_profile()
changes = client.list_history(start_history_id=profile["historyId"])

First-Time Setup

Run the OAuth flow to authorize an account:

from gmail_sdk import GmailClient

client = GmailClient.authorize(account="draneylucas")
print(client.get_profile())

This opens a browser for Google sign-in and saves the token for future use.

Multi-Account

personal = GmailClient(account="draneylucas")
work = GmailClient(account="lucastoddraney")
dev = GmailClient(account="devopsphilosopher")

Configuration

• Secrets directory: ~/secrets/google-oauth/ (override with secrets_dir= or GMAIL_SECRETS_DIR env var)
• Credentials file: {secrets_dir}/credentials.json
• Token files: {secrets_dir}/gmail-{account}.json
