Is there any way to access Google Inbox reminders via Gmail API or another way? I know that Google Inbox can show reminders from Google Keep, but can't find any information about how this communication is done.
You cannot get the reminders via the Gmail API at this time.
Google Keep, Now and Inbox have no APIs either sadly.
So if you are making an application, your cannot get the reminders of your users as of yet.
To get your own reminders though, simply type "What are my reminders?" into Google.
It seems that reminders have been integrated into the Calendar API, although I'm not sure whether these are the same kind of reminders.
There is a Google Tasks API that is available which has some reminder functionality built into GMail.

Hi everyone I have been trying to know how to force gmail to add events to a calendar similar to how airbnb and airline tickets or even eventbrite does it, is there a standard email one can send or is it based on domain reputation to make it happen.
If we are talking about creating events in Google Calendar based on the content of an email (either inbound or outbound email) then Google already has these features called Smart features & controls. For trip information, you would need to set up your Google Account for Google Travel.
Just take note how Google indexes these search terms or metadata only includes the first 1MB of a content on an email to identify if the smart features will automatically detect and suggest a creation of event based on the content of an email. See info here
" is there a standard email one can send or is it based on domain
reputation to make it happen. "
Based on the question above, the domain reputation will only be relevant if you have integrated a third-party mail service within your Google Account, assuming you have Google Workspace, you can check this link for SMTP relay setup.
Other than that, using Google Calendar API only limits you based on your Quota Limits for Google Services.

I'm trying to send a notification out using Google Chats. But I have a few problems with the documentation I've been able to find:
It requires me to have a paid service account, which I do not have, and will not be getting
It requires using a chat bot, which (in my understanding) needs to be added to a room, and cannot just send out messages
Chat bots can't send out messages directly to personal accounts?
I'm already using Google OAuth2 authentication to access another Google API, so I'd like to use a Google API to send messages directly from the authenticated account. How would I do that?
So far:
All the documentation I can find is about making a chat bot.
I've considered some alternatives to sending out messages, but due to corporate device restrictions that will not be changing, google chats is my best option.
At the moment what you're trying to do is not possible, for multiple reasons.
You may know this already, but Google Chat is an upgrade to their old "Classic Hangouts" chat. In Google's own words, this is focused on enterprise (i.e. paid) accounts. While personal accounts are also able to upgrade and get some of the benefits, their documentation shows that Google Chat for personal accounts is very similar to the old Hangouts and most of the new features are meant for the paid accounts. This also includes the use of bots.
As you've observed, the Chat API currently only has methods to create and manage bots. There are no methods to send messages as your own account. This could be to prevent spam or because their Chat API is relatively new, since the Classic Hangouts did not have an API, and Chat hasn't fully replaced it yet. Even then, given that Chat is "enterprise-focused", it is uncertain whether or not personal accounts would get access to any new API features.
You could try to post feedback on their issue tracker or request the feature to see if you get a response, but for an immediate solution you may want to just use the Gmail API to send a regular email or reconsider the other alternatives that you had in mind.
Is there an Gmail API call that corresponds to "Check mail from other accounts > Check mail now"?
Neither Gmail API nor Apps Script's GmailApp have a way to force to update the messages from the other accounts pulled with POP3.
There may be an easy way to update those accounts from the app. Asking how to do this may bring people that knows how to do so and may be able to help you (but that know nothing about Gmail API) :)
As a side note, if you don't find a way of doing it, you may request Google to implement a refresh method in their Gmail API.

I can't find the Docusign Connector thing anywhere; what little info I could find in writing seemed to state it could be found under Admin, but not where. Please don't refer me to a video unless it's only about what I'm asking; it's an accessibility issue for me.
I'm trying to get a google doc signed by someone; apparently I either need to set up the Connector thing or convert to a pdf? I'm very confused by the videos in lieu of an actual how-to with links and words and stuff.
You need DocuSign for Google Drive.

https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/docusign_esignature/66351547828?hl=en-US&pann=cwsdp
That would enable you to sign a Google Doc directly.
DocuSign has an off the shelf product for using DocuSign from Google Office apps.
DocuSign also has the Connect feature which provides webhook notifications to your API program when various events occur with your DocuSign envelopes. For example, you can ask to have your software program notified when envelopes are completed (completely signed and finalized). To use DocuSign Connect, goto the eSignature Administration tool and look for Connect in the Integrations section of the righthand navigation column.
Some DocuSign account plans don't include the Connect feature, so it isn't always there. Talk to DocuSign sales if need be. Remember that the Connect webhook system is for developers.
In the Google calendar user interface, it is possible to disable "Automatic adding of invitations to my calendar" as can be found in google's product forum.
However, can this setting also be done programmaticly by using the google calendar API? I would have expected to find this in the google calendar API reference.
Reason: My program is dynamicly creating/destroying new public accessable google calendars and I need to make sure that nobody can add events by just sending an email invitation to the corresponding calendar email address.
