Readme
Email backend for Django which sends email via the Gmail API
The simple SMTP protocol is disabled by default for Gmail users, since this is included in the Less Secure Apps (LSA) category. The advice is to use SMTP+OAuth or to use the Gmail API directly. This package implements the second option as a Django email backend.
Install the package
pip install django-gmailapi-backend
In your settings.py
:
Add the module into the INSTALLED_APPS
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'gmailapi_backend',
...
]
Set the email backend
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'gmailapi_backend.mail.GmailBackend'
Define the configuration parameters from your Gmail developer account (see next section)
GMAIL_API_CLIENT_ID = 'client_id'
GMAIL_API_CLIENT_SECRET = 'client_secret'
GMAIL_API_REFRESH_TOKEN = 'refresh_token'
For using this package you need to obtain the OAuth credentials for a valid Gmail account.
This package includes the script linked in the documentation above, which simplifies the setup of the API credentials. The following outlines the key steps:
refresh_token
using the helper script included in the package:
gmail_oauth2 --generate_oauth2_token \
--client_id="<client_id>" \
--client_secret="<client_secret>" \
--scope="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.send"
