list(userId, historyTypes=None, labelId=None, maxResults=None, pageToken=None, startHistoryId=None, x__xgafv=None)

Lists the history of all changes to the given mailbox. History results are returned in chronological order (increasing `historyId`).

list_next()

Retrieves the next page of results.

Method Details

close()
Close httplib2 connections.
list(userId, historyTypes=None, labelId=None, maxResults=None, pageToken=None, startHistoryId=None, x__xgafv=None)
Lists the history of all changes to the given mailbox. History results are returned in chronological order (increasing `historyId`).

Args:
  userId: string, The user's email address. The special value `me` can be used to indicate the authenticated user. (required)
  historyTypes: string, History types to be returned by the function (repeated)
    Allowed values
      messageAdded - 
      messageDeleted - 
      labelAdded - 
      labelRemoved - 
  labelId: string, Only return messages with a label matching the ID.
  maxResults: integer, Maximum number of history records to return. This field defaults to 100. The maximum allowed value for this field is 500.
  pageToken: string, Page token to retrieve a specific page of results in the list.
  startHistoryId: string, Required. Returns history records after the specified `startHistoryId`. The supplied `startHistoryId` should be obtained from the `historyId` of a message, thread, or previous `list` response. History IDs increase chronologically but are not contiguous with random gaps in between valid IDs. Supplying an invalid or out of date `startHistoryId` typically returns an `HTTP 404` error code. A `historyId` is typically valid for at least a week, but in some rare circumstances may be valid for only a few hours. If you receive an `HTTP 404` error response, your application should perform a full sync. If you receive no `nextPageToken` in the response, there are no updates to retrieve and you can store the returned `historyId` for a future request.
  x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
    Allowed values
      1 - v1 error format
      2 - v2 error format

Returns:
  An object of the form:

    {
  "history": [ # List of history records. Any `messages` contained in the response will typically only have `id` and `threadId` fields populated.
