Authentication/Authorization in Gmail API

I am creating an app to extract user's emails once they arrive at the uesr' Gmail account (automatically).

After reading Gmail API, I conclude that each extraction (of a Gmail) would require a user authorization through the Oauth 2.0 flow.

I am wondering if there is a way to extract an (G)email by providing an api_key (each gmail account would have its own api_key, obtained by gmail account user registering the app with Google)? The key is to extract (g)email without requiring manual authorizations by gmail account owners.

After looking into the issue carefully, I have drawn a conclusion that Gmail (Hotmail, Yahoo mail are the same) does not support api_key authentication method for email accesses, i.e. each time before an app accesses a gmail count, manual authentication is needed.
