Send An Email With Gmail Using Service Account In Python (Gmail API)

In general, when we need to automate Gmail tasks, we need to go through the OAuth2 protocol to authenticate an account (still the best approach on behalf of a user), and going through the authentication can be a bit annoying and troublesome if you want to have a truly automate workflow for Gmail related tasks. Fortunately, by using a Service Account we can skip the verification process.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to send an email using Gmail with a Google Service Account in Python.

Tell me please what should I do if I want to get emails from my own gmail? I do not have google admin. But service account does not have access to my gmail, I do not know how give it to him.

Thank you for the thorough clarification. I've successfully configured domain-wide delegation, yet I'm encountering the error 'Precondition check failed.' It appears that there might be a delay in being able to impersonate users. Could this be the cause, or is there another issue at play?

Great video, Could you make an example to see how to list the users of the google admin directory, I follow all your steps, I enable the scopes but I always get an access error, even though I have access to the account as an administrator, I don't understand what permission is missing, for example this video with the created account if you run it without problems. Thank you.

hello mr jenn i am unable to follow the part about delegating. is there an extra step to get access to it? i do not know my admin account email and its apparently not the same as the project email?

Currently at the moment Google that's not support third party to send emails with other apps like Pycharm. I have tried multiple times. Can anyone help me

@danielleivy8180 2 ай бұрын

I see some comments about using regular gmail. To my knowledge Google took that bit away. You can no longer "allow third party access" and need an actual workspace account to do this.

I don't think that information is correct as of today.

Thank you for a very informative video. I apologize in advance for this silly question but I have only been working with python and google API's for a few months, total newbie. I recently created a script with access to google sheets API. I want to include email access within the same script. What is the easiest way to do this? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

@@jiejenn I want to create an application that will access the google sheets, docs , calendar, and drive API within the same python script. How would you go about creating this type of application? I used your video to create an application that performs functions across google sheets API and it worked perfectly thanks to your videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there, very late but i think i might have your answer if you still need it! Ex: class DocsAPI(): def send(params): # do stuff class SheetsAPI: def send(params): # do stuff class CalenderAPI:: def send(params): # do stuff So on and so on, include these in there own seperate .py file for better code management and easier use of the APIs also to import these to the main file: import SheetsAPI sheet = SheetsAPI() ect.

Hey I love you videos, I've noticed that gmail api has changed a bit since you did this tut, Would you be willing to do another tutorial on gmail api since things have changed. No one else has one and I've tried the other videos as well and keep getting stuck. Thanks in advance!

@@jiejenn I apologize that I can't at the moment. About 2-3 months ago there was an update to gmail api and my project broke. It was a project I was working on for a start up and I've since walked away from it as larger issues called me away. I was working on automating email order totals to be put into a spread sheet and it went belly up and I wasn't able to figure out why. Is your project still working?
