how to get the first message of a particular user(like facebook’s first message to me) using using gmail api
currently i’m using this code to get all the messages
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly'
def main():
store = file.Storage('token.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('credentials.json', SCOPES)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
service = build('gmail', 'v1', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
# Call the Gmail API to fetch INBOX
results = service.users().messages().list(userId='me',maxResults=20,labelIds = ['INBOX']).execute()
messages = results.get('messages', [])
if not messages:
print("No messages found.")
else:
print("Message snippets:")
for message in messages:
msg = service.users().messages().get(userId='me', id=message['id']).execute()
print(msg['snippet'])
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
