Invalid credentials

[nyarenbee]

Am I missing anything? not sure what I should be putting in 'key'. It would be great if you could provide complete example.

var Gmail = require('node-gmail-api')
  , gmail = new Gmail('MY gmail API key')
  , s = gmail.messages('label:inbox', {max: 10})

s.on('data', function (d) {
  console.log(d.snippet)
})

Getting:

Check out this closed issue where someone reported a similar issue: https://github.com/SpiderStrategies/node-gmail-api/issues/2

You'll need to read up on oauth, specifically how google handles oauth. Once you obtain the oauth key, you can use this module.

@nathanbowser, I'm also getting the Invalid Credentials error. When you mentioned the oauth key, which key is this? The Client ID or Client Secret on the Google Developers Dashboard?

And, if using Service Account Keys, which key should this be?

[nathanbowser]

I'm not sure, @casalot. You'll have to experiment with your oauth setup. We use passport and authenticate like this:

  passport.use('google-apps', new GoogleStrategy({
    clientID: clientId,
    clientSecret: clientSecret,
    callbackURL: callback
  }, function (accessToken, tokenSecret, params, profile, done) {
    // Use accessToken when communicating with the node-gmail-api
  })
