GMail API get From: data out of message

Question

I am trying to get the sender of an email in my inbox using the GMail API. I can not seem to find anything that will let me do this using the Users.messages.

Answer 1

The sender will be in message.payload.headers.From .

Description of payload.headers from the gmail api reference :

List of headers on this message part. For the top-level message part, representing the entire message payload, it will contain the standard RFC 2822 email headers such as To, From, and Subject.
