api-proxy-gmail: A .Net proxy wrapper for the Gmail API

Please note that this is not intended to be a comprehensive coverage of the Gmail API I only included what I needed when I wrote it.

If there are things you need feel free to contribute

Authentication:

Gmail uses oAuth2 for authentication. To configure a gmail account to be accessed through the API you will need to go to the Google API documententation and configure it in the Google API Console. You can also use this Quickstart Guide. In either case you will generate a credential file for your application. When you application is launched if a token has not already been generated, the user will be prompted to log into the gmail account and authorize the application for access and then a token file is generated and stored for the application.

Usage:

• All usage is governed through the DataManager class
• DataManager expects a GmailApiConfiguration object to be injected that contains the path to the credential file generated above, the application name, and the rights to the gmail account that you are requesting.

var dm = new DataManager(new GmailApiConfiguration
{ 
  ApplicationName=*your application*, 
  PathToCredentialFile=*path to credentials.json*,
  Rights= new List<Right>{ *rights you wish to grant* }
});
var courses = dm.GetInboxEmails();
