Gmail Api Python, Nonetype Object Is Not Callable

Time:09-28

When I run the code with body() I will get the Nonetype error.

I've tried putting the body into batchDelete() parameter but it causes delegation denied. I have given access to the Scope in cloud.google.com and at this point I'm not sure what I can do next.

This is the error/Traceback after running the program.

CodePudding user response:

Some things to notice on the code provided:

  1. The call to service.users().messages().batchDelete is not indented inside the try block. This might have broken when pasting it here, but it is worth mentioning since this is python code.
  2. body is not a method, therefore calling like .body(...) will return an exception. In fact, body is the name of the argument of the batchDelete method. Here is the specific python client documentation for this method.
  3. The field ids of the request body expects message ids rather than email addresses. This is an API specification (unrelated to the python client) documented here. There are several methods to retrieve a message id in the Gmail API. For example the method users.messages.list()
  4. Creating the request structure and populating the payload does not mean it actually make the HTTP request. You must call the method execute(). This scenario is documented here.

Fix suggestion:

...
        service.users().messages().batchDelete(userId='me', body={'ids':[
            '999999f99ff9e99e',
            '9999a99c99c99d99']
            }).execute()
