Gmail API using multiple labelIds

Question

I am trying to access Gmail using its API on Python. I want all the UNREAD messages , only from INBOX.

I can call either:

GMAIL.users().messages().list(userId='me',labelIds='INBOX').execute()

or:

GMAIL.users().messages().list(userId='me',labelIds='UNREAD').execute()

However, calling both the labelIdsdoesn't work. Can someone help with using both the labelIds simultaneously.

TIA

I want all the UNREAD messages , only from INBOX.

UNREAD and INBOX aren't really "labels". Try the q parameter instead like:

GMAIL.users().messages().list(userId='me', q='in:inbox is:unread').execute()
