I am trying to get Gmail updates in a chrome extension, other than oauth is there anything specific thing I need to do, to import the Gmail API into the extension?
Here is a complete code example from the most credible source.
You will also need to connect to Gmail with either the the IMAP or SMTP protocol in order to check for new emails.
There is a lot of documentation from Google on how to implement OAuth2 for your extension as well as how to connect to Google Services.
The documentation will tell you what kinds of permissions you'll need.

I was going to send the info obtained from dialogflow bot to my google spreadsheet to save and reuse them.
I tried use fullfillment in DialogFlow. I logged in SheetSu which provides the API for google spreadsheet and got API from that site(sheetsu.com).
and then i'm embarrased with that API in fullullment in DialogFlow.
Is there any better way?
Yes, you can use the Google Sheets API directly. This will likely require you to go through Google Sign In for Assistant to get an access/refresh token.
(If you just want voice commands for Sheets, Actions such as Vodo Drive are working on the issue.)
I want to run a node script as a cronjob which uses Gmail's API to poll a gmail account I own.
I am following these quickstart instructions:
I'm stuck on the first step. When requesting credentials for a cron script it tells me that "User data cannot be accessed from a platform without a UI because it requires user interaction for sign-in":
The docs are confusing in general, and mention "service accounts," "OAuth," and other things -- I cannot tell which apply to my use-case and which don't. I've used many SaaS APIs, and the typical workflow is to login to your account, get an API key and secret, and use those in your script to access the API. It seems this is not the paradigm used by the Gmail API, so I'd appreciate any guidance or links to clearer instructions.
I also find that the documentation can be confusing at times, but what you want to to is actually pretty straight forward once you get it:
Register your App at Google, and say what APIs you want your App to have access to (only the Gmail API in this case). This will give you two strings, a client_id and a client_secret (which is the content of the client_secrets.json-file above).
Since you are just going to write a script for your own account only, you don't need a http-server. The Oauth Playground will suffice. Press the Settings Cog on the top right and use your own OAuth credentials.
Select the Gmail API in the list of APIs and follow the outlined steps.
Now you have an access_token and a refresh_token you can use to keep your script going indefinitely!
To fully understand the use of Gmail API, going through Gmail API Overview really will make a difference.
And you can also use these documentations to start building a Gmail app:
The client libraries are available for download in several languages and simplify making API requests.
The developer guide topics help you better understand how to implement particular use cases.
The API reference gives you details on every resource and method in the Gmail API.
I hope these help.
I have a chrome extension that i am building that I would like to accept payment for.
I am following the instructions laid out by Google in the Chrome Web Store docs.
I have followed them up to the point where I am supposed to be able to get the Oauth token. I do not have a button anywhere in my developer dashboard for the extension.
I made this much more complicated than it actually was. I followed these directions for the One-Time-Payment.
I'm working towards setting up Gmail authentication in a Flask app. There is this extension of Flask - but I can't find a clear idea as to how I'd go about using it to let people log into the app using their Gmail accounts. Any pointers? Much appreciated!
This might give you an idea
https://developers.google.com/gdata/faq#GmailAtomFeed
It says
"Does Gmail have a Data API?
No, but you can use http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13465 Gmail's Atom feed with AuthSub or OAuth 1 to request read-only access to a user's unread messages. The scope should be set to https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/. An example query would be:
GET https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/"
I have been using MailSystem.NET library for retrieving emails from my Gmail account using C#.NET. I was wondering if this library or Google provide an API to change the password programmatically.
It should be possible through the UserEntry object. Check out on the .NET tab in the link. Also, read into this link on the discussion done on how to do it programmatically.
