Want to perform Archive functionality using gmail api

Question

I am working on a app using gmail api. I want to perform archive functionality. I had gone through the api https://developers.google.com/gmail/api but unable to find any desired solutions.

Can anyone suggest me any solution for the same.

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

A archived message is just a message that lies in the All Mail (which isn't an actual label). You can achieve this by removing the INBOX-label on the message (or any other label you have added to it), which can be achieved with modify.

  C# Code for Gmail APIs Archive email by using OAuth 2.0 service.   
     class ReadAllMails
      {       
        static string[] Scopes = { GmailService.Scope.MailGoogleCom };
        static string ApplicationName = "Gmail API .NET Quickstart";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
          UserCredential credential;
          using (var stream =
          new FileStream("credentials_dev.json", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
          {
               string credPath = "token_MailGoogleCom.json";
               credential = GoogleWebAuthorizationBroker.AuthorizeAsync(
               GoogleClientSecrets.Load(stream).Secrets,
               Scopes,
               "user",
                CancellationToken.None,
                new FileDataStore(credPath, true)).Result;                      
             }

            var service = new GmailService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
            {
                HttpClientInitializer = credential,
                ApplicationName = ApplicationName,
            }); 

            List<string> lableIds = new List<string>();
            lableIds.Add("INBOX");
            ModifyMessageRequest mods = new ModifyMessageRequest();
            mods.RemoveLabelIds= lableIds;
            service.Users.Messages.Modify(mods, "me", emailId).Execute();
            //emailId that you want to archive
       }
    }
