* If successful, the received JSON looks like this:
* {
*   "messages": [
*     {
*       "id": "166f583051d36144",
*       "threadId": "166f583051d36144"
*     },

*   ],
*   "nextPageToken": "13434766102274844688",
*   "resultSizeEstimate": 103
* }
* 

* Next, we'll be sending an HTTP POST to add the label "questions" to each message in the
* search results.  The JSON to be sent for the batchModify is this:

* 	{
* 	  "ids": [
* 	    string
* 	  ],
* 	  "addLabelIds": [
* 	    string
* 	  ],
* 	  "removeLabelIds": [
* 	    string
* 	  ]
* 	}

* We'll omit "removeLabelIds" because we're not removing any labels.
* We are parsing the JSON search results, and at the same time building the batchModify JSON.
