OAuth2 for a GMail using a P12 Service Account Key

See more GMail REST API Examples

Demonstrates how to use GMail with OAuth2 for a service account within a Google Workspace Account where your email domain is custom (e.g., @yourcompany.com).

Note: This example does not work for Personal Google Accounts where the email domain is @gmail.com
