Updates the specified label.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

• https://mail.google.com/
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.labels
• https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://mail.google.com/. You can set the scope for this method like this: gmail1 --scope <scope> users labels-update ...

Required Scalar Arguments

• <user-id> (string)
  • The user's email address. The special value me can be used to indicate the authenticated user.
• <id> (string)
  • The ID of the label to update.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Label:
  color:
    background-color: string
    text-color: string
  id: string
  label-list-visibility: string
  message-list-visibility: string
  messages-total: integer
  messages-unread: integer
  name: string
  threads-total: integer
  threads-unread: integer
  type: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

• -r .color background-color=invidunt
  • The background color represented as hex string #RRGGBB (ex #000000). This field is required in order to set the color of a label. Only the following predefined set of color values are allowed: #000000, #434343, #666666, #999999, #cccccc, #efefef, #f3f3f3, #ffffff, #fb4c2f, #ffad47, #fad165, #16a766, #43d692, #4a86e8, #a479e2, #f691b3, #f6c5be, #ffe6c7, #fef1d1, #b9e4d0, #c6f3de, #c9daf8, #e4d7f5, #fcdee8, #efa093, #ffd6a2, #fce8b3, #89d3b2, #a0eac9, #a4c2f4, #d0bcf1, #fbc8d9, #e66550, #ffbc6b, #fcda83, #44b984, #68dfa9, #6d9eeb, #b694e8, #f7a7c0, #cc3a21, #eaa041, #f2c960, #149e60, #3dc789, #3c78d8, #8e63ce, #e07798, #ac2b16, #cf8933, #d5ae49, #0b804b, #2a9c68, #285bac, #653e9b, #b65775, #822111, #a46a21, #aa8831, #076239, #1a764d, #1c4587, #41236d, #83334c #464646, #e7e7e7, #0d3472, #b6cff5, #0d3b44, #98d7e4, #3d188e, #e3d7ff, #711a36, #fbd3e0, #8a1c0a, #f2b2a8, #7a2e0b, #ffc8af, #7a4706, #ffdeb5, #594c05, #fbe983, #684e07, #fdedc1, #0b4f30, #b3efd3, #04502e, #a2dcc1, #c2c2c2, #4986e7, #2da2bb, #b99aff, #994a64, #f691b2, #ff7537, #ffad46, #662e37, #ebdbde, #cca6ac, #094228, #42d692, #16a765

• text-color=stet

  • The text color of the label, represented as hex string. This field is required in order to set the color of a label. Only the following predefined set of color values are allowed: #000000, #434343, #666666, #999999, #cccccc, #efefef, #f3f3f3, #ffffff, #fb4c2f, #ffad47, #fad165, #16a766, #43d692, #4a86e8, #a479e2, #f691b3, #f6c5be, #ffe6c7, #fef1d1, #b9e4d0, #c6f3de, #c9daf8, #e4d7f5, #fcdee8, #efa093, #ffd6a2, #fce8b3, #89d3b2, #a0eac9, #a4c2f4, #d0bcf1, #fbc8d9, #e66550, #ffbc6b, #fcda83, #44b984, #68dfa9, #6d9eeb, #b694e8, #f7a7c0, #cc3a21, #eaa041, #f2c960, #149e60, #3dc789, #3c78d8, #8e63ce, #e07798, #ac2b16, #cf8933, #d5ae49, #0b804b, #2a9c68, #285bac, #653e9b, #b65775, #822111, #a46a21, #aa8831, #076239, #1a764d, #1c4587, #41236d, #83334c #464646, #e7e7e7, #0d3472, #b6cff5, #0d3b44, #98d7e4, #3d188e, #e3d7ff, #711a36, #fbd3e0, #8a1c0a, #f2b2a8, #7a2e0b, #ffc8af, #7a4706, #ffdeb5, #594c05, #fbe983, #684e07, #fdedc1, #0b4f30, #b3efd3, #04502e, #a2dcc1, #c2c2c2, #4986e7, #2da2bb, #b99aff, #994a64, #f691b2, #ff7537, #ffad46, #662e37, #ebdbde, #cca6ac, #094228, #42d692, #16a765

• .. id=vero

  • The immutable ID of the label.
• label-list-visibility=elitr
  • The visibility of the label in the label list in the Gmail web interface.
• message-list-visibility=lorem
  • The visibility of messages with this label in the message list in the Gmail web interface.
• messages-total=72
  • The total number of messages with the label.
• messages-unread=40
  • The number of unread messages with the label.
• name=ipsum
  • The display name of the label.
• threads-total=78
  • The total number of threads with the label.
• threads-unread=42
  • The number of unread threads with the label.
• type=consetetur
  • The owner type for the label. User labels are created by the user and can be modified and deleted by the user and can be applied to any message or thread. System labels are internally created and cannot be added, modified, or deleted. System labels may be able to be applied to or removed from messages and threads under some circumstances but this is not guaranteed. For example, users can apply and remove the INBOX and UNREAD labels from messages and threads, but cannot apply or remove the DRAFTS or SENT labels from messages or threads.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

• The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
• The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
• You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
• You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

• -o out
  • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
