Gmail.js - JavaScript API for Gmail

Node.js CI npm

What Gmail.js is and isn't

Gmail.js is meant to be used for creating WebExtension-based browser-extensions, for Chrome, Firefox and other compatible browsers.

It cannot be used server-side with Node, or from another web-app to interface with Gmail.

Note: This is not an official Gmail API, and isn't affiliated with Google.

Note: Gmail.js requires jQuery to work

TL;DR Summary

  • Lots of API methods to work with gmail. See documentation below.
  • Easy to use API. Data & DOM.
  • Reasonably complete TypeScript-support.
  • Compatible with both WebExtension Manifest V2 and V3.
  • Many methods are contextual and will work with whatever is on screen when no arguments are given.
  • Obtain email data, react to event, etc. No need for OAuth!
  • Main methods allow you to observe certain events with gmail.observe.on('lots_of_actions_here', callback()) or similar gmail.observe.before(...) and gmail.observe.after(...)
  • Create an issue/pull request for feedback, requests and fixes. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

Using Gmail.js

If you know how to create WebExtensions-based extensions for Firefox and Chrome, you can get started by pulling Gmail.js like this:

npm install gmail-js

Note: Please ensure that Gmail.js is injected into the regular DOM.

Content-scripts which launch injected script must be configured with "run_at": "document_start".

It's recommended to split injected script to have only gmail.js load first because the size of the injected script impacts the loading time. Gmail.js must be injected and loaded before Gmail loads embedded data.

Gmail.js does not work as a content-script.

For a ready to use example/boilerplate repo, look no further:

  • GmailJS Node Boilerplate - Example for how to create a browser-extension using GmailJS and modern javascript with NodeJS and script-bundling for instant load-times.

Content Security Policy (legacy advice)

In earlier advice given w.r.t. deployment of GmailJS, where scripts were injected one by one, with cumbersome loading and probing mechanisms, CSP could be an problem causing your extension to fail if GmailJS was injected incorrectly.

If you use modern javascript and script-bundling in your extension (like in the boilerplate example), CSP will not interfere with loading of your extension, nor GmailJS.

If you have any issues with CSP, the general advice is to build your extension using script-bundling and eliminate the cause of the error all together.

While you may be able to make it work, legacy loading is no longer considered supported by GmailJS.

Setup

  • Gmail.js requires jQuery to work

Quick Usage - Chrome Console

// {inject jquery.js} by copy pasting this in your console
var jq = document.createElement('script');
jq.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(jq);

// {inject gmail.js} by copy pasting gmail.js contents or via url like jquery above
// var Gmail = {.....} // paste gmail.js code here

// start using!
// you can also pass in a reference to jQuery upon init - Gmail(localJQuery)
var gmail = Gmail();
gmail.get.user_email();

Typescript

Using gmail-js with TypeScript is relatively easy, but if you use normal import syntax it will fail. Instead you need to use require-syntax to load it:

const GmailFactory = require("gmail-js");
const gmail = new GmailFactory.Gmail() as Gmail;
// working on the gmail-object now provides type-safety.

Methods

Summary (click for more info)

GET

GET (deprecated methods)

CHECK

CHAT

COMPOSE

OBSERVE

It is considered best practice to wait for the gmail interface to be loaded before observing any XHR actions.

gmail.observe.on("load", function(){
    //... now you can safely register other observers using gmail.observe.on
});
  • gmail.observe**.http_requests()**
  • gmail.observe**.actions()**
  • gmail.observe**.register(action, class/args, parent)** - registers a custom DOM observer
  • gmail.observe**.off(action,type)**
  • gmail.observe**.on(action, callback)**
    • XHR observers
    • load - When the gmail interface has finished loading
    • http_event - When gmail any CRUD operation happens on gmail
    • poll - When gmail automatically polls the server to check for new emails every few seconds
    • new_email - When a new email appears in the inbox
    • open_email - When an email is opened from the inbox view
    • refresh - When you click the refresh button
    • unread - When a conversation(s) is marked unread
    • read - When a conversation(s) is marked read
    • delete - When a conversation(s) is deleted
    • delete_message_in_thread - When a conversation(s) is deleted inside a thread
    • mark_as_spam - When a conversation(s) is marked as spam
    • mark_as_not_spam - When a conversation(s) is unchecked as spam
    • label - When a conversation(s) get applied a label
    • archive - When a conversation(s) is archieved
    • move_to_inbox - When a conversation(s) is moved to the inbox
    • delete_forever - When a conversation(s) is deleted forever
    • star - When a conversation(s) is starred
    • unstar - When a conversation(s) is unstarred
    • undo_send - When the Undo Send button is clicked after trying to send a new email
    • mark_as_important - When a conversation(s) is marked as important
    • mark_as_not_important - When a conversation(s) is marked as not important
    • filter_messages_like_these - When a filter button is triggered for a conversation
    • mute - When a conversation(s) is muted
    • unmute - When a conversation(s) is unmuted
    • add_to_tasks - When an item is added to google tasks
    • move_label - When a conversation(s) is moved to a label folder
    • save_draft - When a draft is saved
    • discard_draft - When a draft is dicarded
    • send_message - When a message is sent (except scheduled messages)
    • send_scheduled_message - When a message is scheduled for sending (but not actually sent)
    • expand_categories - When a category is expanded from the left nav sidebar
    • restore_message_in_thread - When a deleted message is restored inside a thread
    • delete_label - When a label is deleted

    • DOM observers
    • compose - When a new compose window is opened, or a message is replied to or forwarded
    • recipient_change - When an email being written (either new compose, reply or forward) has its to, cc or bcc recipients updated
    • view_thread - When a conversation thread is opened to read
    • *view_email - When an individual email is loaded within a conversation thread. It's worth noting this event is only triggered when the email is actually rendered in the DOM. Gmail tends to cache the rendered emails, so it should not be expected to fire reliably for every viewing of the same email. It will most likely fire once, for the initial and possibly only rendering.
    • load_email_menu - When the dropdown menu next to the reply button is clicked
  • gmail.observe**.before(action, callback)**

Details

gmail.new.get.email_id()

Obtains the new-style email-ID from the email currently on screen. Extracted via DOM.

This ID can only be used by gmail.new.get.*-functions.

Can be provided email-element from HTML DOM, or Gmail DOMEmail object to look up specific email ID.

gmail.new.get.thread_id()

Obtains the new-style thread-ID from the email currently on screen. Extracted via DOM.

This ID can only be used by gmail.new.get.*-functions.

gmail.new.get.email_data(identifier)

Returns a data-object for the requested email, if found in the email-cache.

identifier must be an object or string which uniquely identifies an email:

  • new-style email-id
  • legacy-style email-id (will cause warning)
  • DomEmail instance
  • EmailData instance

If no email-data can be found in Gmail.JS email-cache, null or undefined is returned instead.

This method returns immediately, uses no XHR, and has no async-equivalent.

Please note: Email-data is intercepted and stored in the cache only when Gmail itself has requested or used and email.

This typically happens when loading a label (pre-loading all emails in view) or when navigating to view a full thread.

That means that calling the same method later may return data even if the first invocation returned null.

    }
  ]
}

gmail.new.get.thread_data(identifier)

Returns a data-object for the requested email-thread, if found in the email-cache.

identifier must be an object or string which uniquely identifies a thread:

  • a new-style thread-id
  • new-style email-id
  • legacy-style email-id (will cause warning)
  • DomEmail instance
  • DomThread instance
  • EmailData instance

If no thread-data can be found in Gmail.JS email-cache, null or undefined is returned instead.

This method returns immediately, uses no XHR, and has no async-equivalent.

Please note: Email-data is intercepted and stored in the cache only when Gmail itself has requested or used and email.

This typically happens when loading a label (pre-loading all emails in view) or when navigating to view a full thread.

That means that calling the same method later may return data even if the first invocation returned null.

{
    "thread_id": "thread-f:1581064946762017791",
    "emails": [...email_data elements...]
}

gmail.get.email_source(identifier=undefined)

Deprecated function. Will be removed. Migrate to gmail.get.email_source_async or gmail.get.email_source_promise instead.

gmail.get.email_source_async(identifier=undefined, callback, error_callback, preferBinary=false)

Retrieves raw MIME message source from the gmail server for the specified email identifier.

identifier must be an object or string which uniquely identifies an email:

  • new-style email-id
  • legacy-style email-id (will cause warning)
  • DomEmail instance
  • EmailData instance

If not specified, current email will be resolved automatically.

By default, once retrieved the resulting data will be passed to callback in text-format. This may corrupt the actual email MIME-data, by causing irreversible content-encoding consistency-errors.

If you need to parse this data in a proper MIME-parser later, the only way to avoid this kind of error is to download the data in binary format and do your own decoding inside your own MIME-parser.

To get the email-source in binary form, you must set the preferBinary-parameter to true.

gmail.get.email_source_promise(identifier=undefined, preferBinary=false)

Does the same as above but implements it using ES6 promises.

gmail.get.user_email()

gmail.observe.actions()

Similar to gmail.observe.http_requests() this keeps track of the last 10 gmail actions (vs all http requests). Actions here correspond to things like clicking refres, archiving, deleting, starring etc.

gmail.observe.on(action, callback)

This is the key feature of gmail.js. This method allows you to add triggers to all of these actions so you can build your custom extension/tool with this library.

You simply specify the action name and your function that the method will return data to when the actions are triggered and it does the rest. You can have multiple triggers

Your callback will be fired directly after Gmail's XMLHttpRequest has been sent off the the Gmail servers.

Available Actions

  • http_event - When gmail any CRUD operation happens on gmail
  • poll - When gmail automatically polls the server to check for new emails every few seconds
  • new_email - When a new email appears in the inbox
  • open_email - When an email is opened from the inbox view
  • refresh - When you click the refresh button
  • unread - When a conversation(s) is marked unread

  • label - When a conversation(s) get applied a label
  • archive - When a conversation(s) is archieved
  • move_to_inbox - When a conversation(s) is moved to the inbox
  • delete_forever - When a conversation(s) is deleted forever
  • star - When a conversation(s) is starred
  • unstar - When a conversation(s) is unstarred

  • mark_as_important - When a conversation(s) is marked as important
  • mark_as_not_important - When a conversation(s) is marked as not important
  • filter_messages_like_these - When a filter button is triggered for a conversation
  • mute - When a conversation(s) is muted
  • unmute - When a conversation(s) is unmuted
  • add_to_tasks - When an item is added to google tasks
  • move_label - When a conversation(s) is moved to a label folder
  • save_draft - When a draft is saved
  • discard_draft - When a draft is dicarded
  • send_message - When a message is sent (except scheduled messages)
  • send_scheduled_message - When a message is scheduled for sending (but not actually sent)

  • restore_message_in_thread - When a deleted message is restored inside a thread
  • delete_label - When a label is deleted
  • show_newly_arrived_message - When inside an email and a new email arrives in the thread

The on method also supports observering specific DOM events in the Gmail Interface (for example when a new compose window is opened). These are only available via the on method (not the before or after methods).

Available DOM Actions/Observers

  • load - When the gmail interface has completed loading
  • compose - When a new compose window opens, or a message is replied to or forwarded

gmail.observe.before(action, callback)

Similar to gmail.observe.on, this method allows you to bind callbacks to specific events.

All of the standard actions in gmail.observe.on work here, with the exception of the DOM actions

The main difference between on and before is that these callbacks are fired before Gmail's XMLHttpRequest has been sent off the the Gmail servers.This means, where relevant, your callback function can change it prior to it departing by editing the xhrParams.body_params object in the passed xhr parameter.

gmail.observe.before('send_message', function(url, body, data, xhr){
  var body_params = xhr.xhrParams.body_params;

  // lets cc this email to someone extra if the subject is 'Fake example'
  if(data.subject == 'Fake example') {
    if(body_params.cc) {
      if(typeof body_params.cc != 'object') body_params.cc = [ body_params.cc ];
    } else {
      body_params.cc = [];
    }
    body_params.cc.push('[email protected]');
  }

  // now change the subject
  body_params.subject = 'Subject overwritten!';
  console.log("sending message, url:", url, 'body', body, 'email_data', data, 'xhr', xhr);
});

gmail.observe.after(action, callback)

Similar to gmail.observe.on, this method allows you to bind callbacks to specific events.

All of the standard actions in gmail.observe.on work here, with the exception of the DOM actions

The main difference between on and after is that these callbacks are fired once Gmail's XMLHttpRequest has returned from the Gmail servers (on the XMLHttpRequest onreadystatechange event).

In addition to the usual parameters received by a callback, callbacks you define for an after event receive an additional response parameter prior to the last xhr parameter. This response parameter is a parsed object representation of the response from the Gmail servers.

So for example, the send_message action would receive:

gmail.observe.after("send_message", function(url, body, data, response, xhr) {
  console.log("message sent", "url:", url, 'body', body, 'email_data', data, 'response', response, 'xhr', xhr);
})

gmail.observe.off(action=null,type=null)

Turn off an observe action. Providing it no argument will disable all observers.

Type is either before, after, on or dom. If not specified will disable all types of specified observer.

gmail.observe.on('poll', function(x,y,z){});
gmail.observe.before('refresh', function(x,y,z){});
gmail.observe.after('send_message', function(x,y,z){});

gmail.observe.off('poll','on'); // disables on poll
gmail.observe.off('poll'); // disables all poll events of any type
gmail.observe.off(null,'before'); // disables all before observers
gmail.observe.off();  // disables all

gmail.observe.register(action, class/args)

Allow an application to register a custom DOM observer specific to their application. Adds it to the configured DOM observers that will then be supported by the dom insertion observer. Note this method must be called prior to binding any handlers to specific actions/observers using on, before or after. Once you start binding handlers, you cannot register any further custom observers.

This method can be called two different ways:

Simple:

  • action - the name of the new DOM observer
  • class - the class of an inserted DOM element that identifies that this action should be triggered

Complex:

  • action - the name of the new DOM observer
  • args - an object containin properties for each of the supported DOM observer configuration agruments:
    • class - the class of an inserted DOM element that identifies that this action should be triggered
    • selector - if you need to match more than just the className of a specific element to indicate a match, you can use this selector for further checking (uses element.is(selector) on matched element). E.g. if there are multiple elements with a class indicating an observer should fire, but you only want it to fire on a specific id, then you would use this
    • sub_selector - if specified, we do a jquery element.find for the passed selector on the inserted element and ensure we can find a match
    • handler - if specified this handler is called if a match is found. Otherwise default calls the callback & passes the jQuery matchElement
// this will register an observer that fires each time the autosuggest listbox pops up / changes
// as you type an email address into a compose
gmail.observe.register('compose_email_select', {
  class: 'Jd-axF',
  selector: 'div.Jd-axF:first-child'
});
gmail.observe.on('compose_email_select', function(match) {
  console.log('Email select popup',match);
});

gmail.dom.visible_messages()

Returns basic data for all the messages currently visible in the messages view. Taken from the DOM.

[
{
    "summary": "Hey Bill",
    "from": {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "name": "Joe",
    },
    "$el": tr#:9b.zA.zE.inboxsdk__thread_row,
    "thread_id": "thread-f:1628504557508152478",
    "legacy_email_id": undefined,
},
{
    "summary": "The best of Gmail, wherever you are",
    "from": {
        "name": "Gmail",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    },
    "$el": tr#:9b.zA.zE.inboxsdk__thread_row,
    "thread_id": "#thread-f:1634069952006597946"
    "legacy_email_id": undefined,
},
]

gmail.dom.compose(compose_el)

An object used to abstract interation with a compose popup. Represents a compose window in the DOM and provides a bunch of methods and properties to access & interact with the window.

Expects a jQuery DOM element for the compose div.

// you can use an observer to retrieve a compose object
gmail.observe.on('compose', function(compose, composeType) {
  // compose type can be one of "reply" | "forward" | "compose"
  console.log('Compose object:', compose, 'compose type:', composeType);
});

Compose methods:

  • .id() - retrieve the compose id
  • .email_id() - retrieve the draft email id
  • .is_inline() - is this compose instance inline (as with reply & forwards) or a popup (as with a new compose)
  • .recipients(options) - retrieves to, cc, bcc and returns them in a hash of arrays. Options:
    • .type - string to, cc, or bcc to check a specific one
    • .flat - boolean if true will just return an array of all recipients instead of splitting out into to, cc, and bcc
  • .to() - retrieve the current to recipients
  • .cc() - retrieve the current cc recipients
  • .bcc() - retrieve the current bcc recipients
  • .subject(subject) - get/set the current subject
  • .from() - get the from email, if user only has one email account they can send from, returns that email address
  • .body(body) - get/set the email body
  • .send() - triggers the same action as clicking the "send" button would do.
  • .find(selector) - map find through to jquery element
  • .close() - close compose window
  • .dom(lookup) - retrieve preconfigured dom elements for this compose window. Lookup can be one of 'to' | 'cc' | 'bcc' | 'id' | 'draft' | 'subject' | 'subjectbox' | 'all_subjects' | 'body' | 'quoted_reply' | 'reply' | 'forward' | 'from' | 'send_button' | 'show_cc' | 'show_bcc'

gmail.get.email_data_async(email_id=undefined, callback)

DEPRECATED! This function relies on XHR-invocation against a deprecated Gmail API and is is very likely to fail. Use gmail.new.get.email_data() and gmail.new.get.thread_data() instead!

Does the same as above but accepts a callback function.

gmail.get.displayed_email_data()

DEPRECATED! This function relies on XHR-invocation against a deprecated Gmail API and is is very likely to fail. Migrate to gmail.new.get.*-API instead.

Returns an object representation of the emails that are being displayed.
