I'm trying to use the Gmail API to get a user's email, grab the message subject and body, and then display it on a webpage. I'll be doing other stuff with it, but this is the part that I am having difficulty with. I am using Angular.js.

Here is my API call:

function makeApiCall() {

  gapi.client.load('gmail', 'v1', function() {

    var request = gapi.client.gmail.users.messages.list({

      labelIds: ['INBOX']

    });

    request.execute(function(resp) {

      var content = document.getElementById(message-list);

      angular.forEach(resp, function(message) {

        var email = gapi.client.gmail.users.messages.get({'id': message.id});

        // var raw = email.payload.parts;

        // console.log(raw);

        content.innerHTML += JSON.stringify(email) + <br>;

      })

    });

  });

}

So gapi.client.gmail.users.messages.list returns an array of my messages, with their ID numbers. That is working.

The call to gapi.client.gmail.users.messages.get({<specific message ID>}) outputs this - {B:{method:gmail.users.messages.get,rpcParams:{},transport:{name:googleapis}}}.

Not sure what that is, but trying to get the message payload (email.payload.parts), results in undefined. So, how can I get the message content?

Also, I would assume that if I can get the message contents, I would then have to Base64 decode the contents to get some English out of it. Any suggestions for that would be of great help also. I've found this: https://github.com/kvz/phpjs, but since I'm not sure how to go about getting the message contents so that I can try and decode them, so not sure if that php.js is of an help in that regard.
