How to get unread mails from primary inbox in Gmail?

问题

I'm using the Javascript client API with my app and I'm trying to get unread mails from the primary inbox.

If I use the INBOX and UNREAD names when requesting the labels I get all unread mails from all labels.

No other label type name works, I've experimented in APIs explorer and i can't seem to figure out how to manage this.

Am I missing something or is it not possible?

回答1:

You can try this "in:inbox is:unread -category:(promotions OR social)" as a value for q parameter in messages.list. I tried this in API explorer, and it gave correct results.

I have 4 "UNREAD" mails(or Threads) in my inbox, and response is:

200 OK
