how to send message using Gmail API with Ruby Google API Client?

Question

i'm facing several problem with API, first: send method asking for 'id'(message id or thread id) .. but why ? i'm sending new message so it shouldn't require . according to Gmail Api documnetation its optional . https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/send ``` ArgumentError: Missing required parameters: id. ``` second: even after specify message id it return this message . ``` Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. ``` code ``` require 'mime' include MIME msg = Mail.new msg.date = Time.now msg.subject = 'This is important' msg.headers.set('Priority', 'urgent') msg.body = Text.new('hello, world!', 'plain', 'charset' => 'us-ascii') msg.from = {'hi@gmail.com' => 'Boss Man'} msg.to = { 'list@example.com' => nil, 'john@example.com' => 'John Doe', 'jane@example.com' => 'Jane Doe', } @email = @google_api_client.execute( api_method: @gmail.users.messages.send(:get), body_object: { raw: Base64.urlsafe_encode64(msg.to_s) }, parameters: { userId: 'me'…

Accepted Answer

I think

```
@gmail.users.messages.send(:get) is equal to @gmail.users.messages.get
```

because ".send" is ruby method

so now this method is working with

```
@gmail.users.messages.to_h['gmail.users.messages.send']
```

example:

```
msg = Mail.new
msg.date = Time.now
msg.subject = options[:subject]
msg.body = Text.new(options[:message])
msg.from = {@_user.email => @_user.full_name}
msg.to   = {
    options[:to] => options[:to_name]
}
@email = @google_api_client.execute(
    api_method: @gmail.users.messages.to_h['gmail.users.messages.send'],
    body_object: {
        raw: Base64.urlsafe_encode64(msg.to_s)
    },
    parameters: {
        userId: 'me',
    }
) 
```

Thanks.
