Test case involving Gmail API

[neerajan]

Hi,

I have a scenario, where following a REST request test step a confirmation email is sent to the user to her/his registered gmail address. Is it possible to send a request to gmail api and confirm the receipt of the sent email.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Neeraja Narayan

Thank you for posting to our Community Forum.

I don't have any experience with the gmail API but after reviewing the docs for the request User.messages Send (https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/send), it is clear that you should be able to construct a REST request TestStep to make the API call.

The Gmail API does require authorization and that can also be done in ReadyAPI:

Have a great day!
