How To Integrate Gmail API In Your Node.js Application

1

ngrok

Project setup and dependency installation. After setting up your Node.js project, on your terminal run npm I googleapis to install googleapis from npm. Add the credentials you created to your .env file: GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, GMAIL_REDIRECT_URL(during OAuth authentication, google will call this endpoint with the authentication code if successful). The redirect url needs to be a live url on your server's domain, but you can use ngrok to expose your localhost to the internet to enable us to get the redirect during OAuth authentication. Head over to ngrok.com and follow the instructions there to set up ngrok locally. Once you have set up ngrok, the redirect url should be in this format . Eg. https://my-url/call_back_path.
