Permanently Delete a Specific GMail Message

See more GMail REST API Examples

Immediately and permanently deletes the specified message. This operation cannot be undone. (This is not the same as moving a message to Trash.) Go

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    http := chilkat.NewHttp()
    http.SetAuthToken("GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN")

    // The id of the GMail message to delete.
    id := "1669cc9a926bb8c1"
    userId := "me"

    http.SetUrlVar("userId","me")
    http.SetUrlVar("id",id)

    // Delete the email.
    url := "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{$userId}/messages/{$id}"
    responseStr := http.QuickDeleteStr(url)
    if http.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(http.LastErrorText())
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("status = ", http.LastStatus())

    // A 204 response indicate success.
    // It is common for HTTP DELETE operations to respond with a 204 status code with an empty body for success.
    // You'll find many REST APIs follow this custom..
    if http.LastStatus() != 204 {
        fmt.Println(*responseStr)
        fmt.Println("Failed.")
        http.DisposeHttp()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Message deleted!")

    http.DisposeHttp()
