Unable to authenticate using gspread to access Google Drive
Question
I use python to generate a way to follow up with prospects who I have sent books to but haven't heard back from. Quick way to catch up with them. Must stress this isn't used for SPAM.
I have one file gmail_variable.py which contains GMAIL_USERNAME = "myemail@gmail.com" GMAIL_PASSWORD = "myGmailPassword"
The below uses those details to login to Google Drive and email anyone who hasn't yet got back to me. Working absolutely fine until today. Started receiving the following error. I run this from my terminal and keep the code locally on my machine.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pr_email_robot.py", line 6, in <module>
gc = gspread.login(GMAIL_USERNAME, GMAIL_PASSWORD)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gspread/client.py", line 312, in login
client.login()
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/gspread/client.py", line 119, in login
"Unable to authenticate. %s code" % ex.code)
gspread.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Unable to authenticate. 404 code
Below is the code that gets executed. I know oAuth was changes on April 20th according to something I read. But the code below was working up until then.
After some initial research I discovered that gspread recommend replacing
gc = gspread.login(GMAIL_USERNAME, GMAIL_PASSWORD)
with
gc = gspread.authorize(OAuth2Credentials)
I then went through the guide here and setup the API as they suggested. Downloaded the JSON file. BUT what do I replace OAuth2Credentials with?
gc = gspread.authorize(OAuth2Credentials)
Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated. Still very new to python so simple explanations are helpful :)
import smtplib

wks = gc.open("horror_reviewers").sheet1
recipients = wks.get_all_values()
def sendEmail(recipient):
email_subject = "Jay-Jay"
#recipient = "nat@programmingformarketers.com"
body_of_email = "<body><p>Hello "+ recipient[1].encode('utf-8') +",<br /> \

Have a note that we sent you a copy and confirmed a review. Did we send over what you needed or are you still awaiting details from us?</a><br /> \

Apologies if you have already posted the link and we missed it. If you could resend that would be great.<br /> \

You can use SMTP to send mail using gmail:
code example:
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
hostname = "smtp.gmail.com"
password = "<password>"
me = "<me@gmail.com>"
you = "<you@gmail.com>"
payload = "some text here"
msg = MIMEText(payload)
msg["Subject"] = "Test subject"
msg["From"] = me
msg["To"] = you
session = smtplib.SMTP_SSL(hostname)
session.login(me, password)
session.sendmail(me, [you], msg.as_string())
session.quit()
