Watch request in gmail API doesn't work

Question

I am trying to make a watch request using python as referred to in the google APIs but it does not work.

request = {
  'labelIds': ['INBOX'],
  'topicName': 'projects/myproject/topics/mytopic'
}
gmail.users().watch(userId='me', body=request).execute()

I could not find a library or a package to use gmail.users() function. How do I make a watch request using an access token?

Answer 1

Do it in gmail python client(provide by google).under main function

request = {
        'labelIds': ['INBOX'],
        'topicName': 'projects/myprojects/topics/getTopic'
    }
    print(service.users().watch(userId='me', body=request).execute())

Answer 2

const { google } = require('googleapis') 
const gmail = google.gmail({ version: 'v1' }) 

gmail is just an object from the client library. In the above is the node js library. Look in the python client library for answers.

This is what I do not like about a lot of the google docs on their api, they assume you know what is loaded or have seen an example in some obscure place.
