Gmail API / List messages

Gmail tool gmail-messages-list on looot: input fields, $0 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Lists message ids in the mailbox (developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/rest/v1/users.messages/list): q (Gmail search syntax), maxResults, labelIds and pageToken are the query fields the docs define.

  • Tool id: gmail-messages-list
  • Provider: Gmail
  • Job: List gmail messages (gmail.messages.list)
  • Price: $0 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
labelIds array no Only return messages with all of the specified label ids.
maxResults integer no Max messages returned on one result page (Google default 100, max 500).
pageToken string no A pageToken from a previous call’s nextPageToken.
q string no Gmail search query, same syntax as the Gmail search box, e.g. “from@y.com is”.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect gmail-messages-list prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"gmail-messages-list","input":{"q":"<q>"},"wait":30}'
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "gmail-messages-list",
    input: {
      q: "<q>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "gmail-messages-list",
        "input": {
            "q": "<q>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send job:gmail.messages.list as endpointId; see the job page.
