gmail_xoauth

Get access to Gmail IMAP and STMP via OAuth, using the standard Ruby Net libraries.

The gem only supports 3-legged OAuth. If you need 2-legged OAuth feel free to fork!

Install

$ gem install gmail_xoauth

Usage

Get your OAuth tokens

For testing, you can generate and validate your OAuth tokens thanks to the awesome xoauth.py tool.

$ python xoauth.py --generate_oauth_token [email protected]

IMAP

For your tests, Gmail allows to set 'anonymous' as the consumer key and secret.

require 'gmail_xoauth'
imap = Net::IMAP.new('imap.gmail.com', 993, usessl = true, certs = nil, verify = false)
imap.authenticate('XOAUTH', '[email protected]',
  :consumer_key => 'anonymous',
  :consumer_secret => 'anonymous',
  :token => '4/nM2QAaunKUINb4RrXPC55F-mix_k',
  :token_secret => '41r18IyXjIvuyabS/NDyW6+m'
)
messages_count = imap.status('INBOX', ['MESSAGES'])['MESSAGES']
puts "Seeing #{messages_count} messages in INBOX"

Note that the Net::IMAP#login method does not use support custom authenticators, so you have to use the Net::IMAP#authenticate method.

SMTP

For your tests, Gmail allows to set 'anonymous' as the consumer key and secret.

require 'gmail_xoauth'
smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
smtp.enable_starttls_auto
secret = {
  :consumer_key => 'anonymous',
  :consumer_secret => 'anonymous',
  :token => '4/nM2QAaunKUINb4RrXPC55F-mix_k',
  :token_secret => '41r18IyXjIvuyabS/NDyW6+m'
}
smtp.start('gmail.com', '[email protected]', secret, :xoauth)
smtp.finish

Note that +Net::SMTP#enable_starttls_auto+ is not defined in Ruby 1.8.6.

Compatibility

Tested on Ruby MRI 1.8.6, 1.8.7 and 1.9.1. Feel free to send me a message if you tested this code with other implementations of Ruby.

The only external dependency is the oauth gem.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.
  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.
  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
