Add g mail address book to self adhesive labels

What a great idea!

To add a Gmail address book to self-adhesive labels, you'll need to use a combination of Google's Gmail API, a programming language like Python or JavaScript, and a label printing software. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Step 1: Enable the Gmail API

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/) and create a new project.
  2. Click on "Enable APIs and Services" and search for "Gmail API".
  3. Click on "Gmail API" and click on the "Enable" button.
  4. Create credentials for your project by clicking on "Create Credentials" and selecting "OAuth client ID".
  5. Choose "Other" as the application type and enter a name for your client ID.
  6. In the "Authorized Redirect URIs" field, enter the URL where you'll be redirecting the user after authorization (e.g., http://localhost:8080/).
  7. Click on "Create" and copy the client ID and client secret.

Step 2: Set up a label printing software

  1. Choose a label printing software that supports Python or JavaScript, such as:
    • Python: python-labelwriter or pylabel
    • JavaScript: labeljs or jslabel
  2. Install the chosen software using pip or npm.

Step 3: Write a script to retrieve Gmail contacts and print labels

  1. Write a Python or JavaScript script that uses the Gmail API to retrieve the contacts from your Gmail address book.
  2. Use the retrieved contacts to create a label printing template with the contact's name, email address, and other relevant information.
  3. Use the label printing software to print the labels with the contact information.

Here's an example Python script using python-labelwriter and the Gmail API:

import os
import json
from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from labelwriter import LabelWriter

# Set up Gmail API credentials
client_id = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID'
client_secret = 'YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET'
redirect_uri = 'http://localhost:8080/'
credentials = Credentials.get_credentials()
service = build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

# Set up label printing software
label_writer = LabelWriter()

# Retrieve Gmail contacts
contacts_response = service.users().contacts().list(userId='me').execute()
contacts = contacts_response.get('contacts', [])

# Create a label printing template
template = """
Name: {name}
Email: {email}
"""

# Print labels for each contact
for contact in contacts:
    name = contact.get('name', {}).get('fullName', '')
    email = contact.get('emailAddresses', []).get('primary', '')
    label_text = template.format(name=name, email=email)
    label_writer.print_label(label_text, 'Avery 5160', '1x2')

Step 4: Run the script and print the labels

  1. Run the script using Python or Node.js.
  2. The script will retrieve the contacts from your Gmail address book and print the labels with the contact information.

Note: This is just a basic example to get you started. You may need to modify the script to fit your specific requirements, such as handling errors, adding more contact information, or customizing the label layout.
