Is it possible to get info about specific email using gmail.js if I know that email id?-CodePudding

To open email in new window GMAIL: How to open a Sent email in browser by URL if I know its id?

I need the Id , not message ID. To get the Id of email I need to get the whole info about needed email. In Gmail API you can get it by using

Method: users.messages.get.

The result you get the Id (tainted in yellow)

Is it possible to get same info about email using gmail.js library? Library is wrapper of GMAIL API. I know about method gmail.new.get.email_id but its only works if specific email is in cache. Any ideas?

I think you would be better off using the official Google api JavaScript client to request data from the Gmail api. I recommend starting with quickstart
