MV3 - How to fetch email data from Gmail server in MV3 without using "Google API Javascript Client"

[Shashi kiran]

Hi All,

Scenario:

I have chrome extension built using MV2 which reads email / drive files from Gmail server using "Google API Javascript Client" javascript library for the same & it was working.

Need Clarification:
Now "Google API Javascript Client" library will not work due to loading of remote hosted code is not allowed in MV3. Google had documented the same in github link - https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/master/docs/start.md#:~:text=Supported%20environments

So could you let us know if there is any other way to read email / drive files from Gmail server in MV3.
Can I use Gmail REST API to fetch email data, if yes is there any implication / disadvantages to use in chrome extension MV3? (Gmail API Link - https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/reference/rest)

Please advice.

Thanks in Advance,
Shashikiran

Yes,  you can use the rest api. You can use anything that doesn't load code from a remote source. There are other, third party gmail libraries that exist, but there isn't another official client that I am aware of.
