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.) Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final http = CkHttp();
  http.authToken = 'GMAIL-ACCESS-TOKEN';

  // The id of the GMail message to delete.
  final id = '1669cc9a926bb8c1';
  final userId = 'me';

  http.setUrlVar('userId', 'me');
  http.setUrlVar('id', id);

  // Delete the email.
  final url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/{\$userId}/messages/{\$id}';
  final String responseStr;
  try {
    responseStr = http.quickDeleteStr(url);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  print('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) {
    print(responseStr);
    print('Failed.');
    return;
  }

  print('Message deleted!');
