I'm trying to send an email using the Gmail API in python. I think I followed the relevant documentation and youtube vids.
I'm running into this error:
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: HttpError 403 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/messages/send?alt=json returned "Insufficient Permission"
Here is my script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import base64
import errors
SCOPES = 'https://mail.google.com/'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'client_secret.json'
store = file.Storage('storage.json')
credz = store.get()
if not credz or credz.invalid:
flags = tools.argparser.parse_args(args=[])
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRET, SCOPES)
credz = tools.run_flow(flow, store, flags)
GMAIL = build('gmail', 'v1', http=credz.authorize(Http()))
def CreateMessage(sender, to, subject, message_text):
"""Create a message for an email.
Args:
sender: Email address of the sender.
to: Email address of the receiver.
subject: The subject of the email message.
message_text: The text of the email message.

"""
message = MIMEText(message_text)
message['to'] = to
message['from'] = sender
message['subject'] = subject
return {'raw': base64.urlsafe_b64encode(message.as_string())}
def SendMessage(service, user_id, message):
"""Send an email message.
Args:
service: Authorized Gmail API service instance.
user_id: User's email address. The special value "me"
can be used to indicate the authenticated user.
message: Message to be sent.
Returns:
Sent Message.
"""
try:
message = (service.users().messages().send(userId=user_id, body=message)
.execute())
print 'Message Id: %s' % message['id']
return message
except errors.HttpError, error:
print 'An error occurred: %s' % error
message = CreateMessage('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'test_subject', 'foo')
print message
SendMessage(GMAIL, 'me', message)
I tried adding scopes, trying different emails, etc. I have authenticated by logging into my browser as well. (The [email protected] is a dummy email btw)
