How to get the number of unread threads in INBOX with Gmail API?

Question

I tried to use the list thread method:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{MyEmailAddress}/threads?labelIds=INBOX&labelIds=UNREAD&key={YOUR_AP         


        

Answer 1

Turn conversation view off in the Gmail UI in order to get an accurate count of the message (not threads) in your inbox.

You can also use:

in:inbox is:unread

as the query in both the UI and API. Remove the labelId parameters.
