I'm trying to read all domain users send-as mail using gmail settings api https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/settings/sendAs/list?authuser=1 but I'm unable to read others send-as mail. The api accepts only userid ='me'. I have service account and domain delegation enabled using the google documentation. I can read all email details using Directory API, which I'm not interested in. Could someone help me with this.
Thanks.
Users.settings.sendAs: list
userId string User's email address. The special value "me" can be used to indicate the authenticated user.
Assuming you have delegation set up properly you should be able to use the other users email address. Me is only used when you want to see the information for the currently authenticated user.

I have an application leveraging the Microsoft Graph SDK for C# and I have registered that application to use the Application Permission User.Invite.All. I would like to specify the email address the invitation should come from.
Is that possible?
You can't set the address if you use the default invitation email.
If you want a custom sender address, you'll need to send the invite email yourself through some email provider.
You can disable the default email send with:
"sendInvitationMessage": false
In the response, you will get inviteRedeemUrl.
This is the link you need to send to the user so they can accept the invite.
I can't figure out how can I get email address from twitter. I've been using this as example - https://github.com/sahat/satellizer/tree/master/examples/server/node. I've also seen that it's possible to get email from twitter's oauth - https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/account/verify_credentials. Thanks
The example server doesn't appear to get the email in the twitter case.
And the documentation link explains how to request
Requesting a user’s email address requires your application to be
whitelisted by Twitter. To request access, please use this form.
Once whitelisted, the “Request email addresses from users” checkbox
will be available under your app permissions on apps.twitter.com.
Privacy Policy URL and Terms of Service URL fields will also be
available under settings which are required for email access. If
enabled, users will be informed via the oauth/authorize dialog that
your app can access their email address.
"Given that you have to go through all the hoops to get whitelisted by Twitter in order to access user's email, it is it not part of the example code. If you really need to get user's email, you may have to do that outside Satellizer's auth flow." - sahat (owner of satellizer)
When I send an email using the GMail API, I get an Access Token for the user to whom the message is to be sent and then when sending the message, I put some value in the From Field.
But no matter what I put in the from field, the message in the email shows as From "Me" and is in the Sent mails as well as Inbox.
Is there a way, I could use the Service Account to send the email, so that it does not show up as From "Me" and is also not in the Sent Mails.
You cannot use a service account to impersonate a free gmail account. I spent a lot of time confirming this after reading a reply that was here before. Maybe it worked at some point, but it doesn't anymore.
There is no way to share / grant another user permission to access
your standard gmail account. So there is no way for you go delegate
the permissions for bob#mycompany.com to access bob#gmail.com.
and
you can impersonate G-Suite accounts but not Gmail accounts
These quotes are from Google's official C# Auth repo:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-dotnet-client/issues/1561
No. The Gmail API is for Gmail users and service accounts are just for doing auth to a real Gmail account, they don't have their own Gmail account, etc.
If you want to send the email from some service, you need some bulk-sending email service like at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/sending-mail/ or something you run yourself or from some other provider.
No, what you are looking for is a bulk email sending service. Checkout sendgrid , Amazon AWS SES, mandrill or if you want to stick with Google, this. You could of course run your own postfix server (although I'm assuming you were using gmail api for deliverability in the first place.
We are attempting to be able to provide the ability for a Glass user to request an email to be sent to them from a Timeline Card. On the notify callback Servlet, we are attempting the following to retrieve a user's email address:
String userId = notification.getUserToken();
Credential credential = AuthUtil.getCredential(userId);
Mirror mirrorClient = MirrorClient.getMirror(credential);
Contact contact = MirrorClient.getContact(credential, userId);
We do not get a result back when retrieving an email off of the UserInfo object of a authenticated user. Our application has the following scopes available to the application server:
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/glass.timeline "
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/glass.location "
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile "
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email "
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/contacts"
Are we allowed to retrieve the authenticated user's email address, is there a permission I am missing or is there another means by which to request that data?
The getContact call you are making doesn't have anything to do with the user's email address. You can read up on what Contact is referring to here:
https://developers.google.com/glass/contacts
To get the user's email address, I've successfully used the same auth token used to authorize the Glass mirror API app with the added scope you mention to call this URL:
https://www.googleapis.com/userinfo/email?alt=json
This method seems to stop working after the initial authorization at some point, so be sure to do it when the user first authorizes the app and save off the email.
Although I've also just gotten the email off AppEngine's UserService before as well, which is easier if you happen to be running on AppEngine:
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/users/UserService
So the question boils down to "Why am I not getting contact info for this userID that I am sending to the Google Mirror service?"
The Mirror service only provides contact information for Contacts that your Glassware has added. See https://developers.google.com/glass/contacts for more about Contacts in Glass and how to add Contacts. Unless you have already added a Mirror Contact with this userId, you won't get anything back.
The Mirror service does not provide direct access to the information from userinfo.info or userinfo.email. You will need to get it out using the OAuth2 libraries first if you want to add them as a Contact for Glass.
When performing authentication using the OpenID federated login on GAE, my user object has the following properties:
Nickname: http://wordfaire.com/openid?id=103539105724544727060
email: sudhir.j#wordfaire.com
From the docs,
email()
Returns the email address of
the user. If you use OpenID, you
should not rely on this email address
to be correct. Applications should use
nickname for displayable names.
Obviously, this advice isn't working out very well. So how then can I get an authoritative email handle to associate with a particular OpenID provided by any Google Apps or other domain? I really need the email ID because things like invitations and sharing / access control all function via email ids.
If you need a valid email for OpenID users, ask the user to supply one the first time they log in, and store it yourself along with their user object.
Since anyone can create an OpenID provider, it's not safe to assume that the provider has already gathered a valid address.
