Helper script which uses the Gmail API to find new release emails from Bandcamp.

The easiest way to setup credentials is to go to the Pythong quickstart page:

https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python

Scroll down and click: Enable the Gmail API

After accepting everything, download the credentials.json file and place it in the top level of this project (i.e. ./FetchBandcampEmails/credentials.json)

Alternatively, follow this:

Note: DO NOT SHARE THIS FILE BUT maybe put it in your password manager ;)

run:

python -m venv .venv 
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements

python FetchBandcampEmails.py

Note: The first time you run the command you will be required to login to your gmail account. A file will be created--token.pickle--which is used by the script to prevent the need of loging in again. DO NOT SHARE THIS FILE

• -o, --outfile - optional output file for URL list
• -m, --mark - optional mark found emails as read (remove UNREAD label)
