Gmail Fisher

🎣 Automation scripts for fetching email messages from Gmail API.

Gmail Fisher allows you to query email messages in your Gmail inbox.

Some of these automation tasks are used for fetching email receipts from certain purchases made online, scrapping email subjects, bodies and attachments; and mapping them to Expense objects, to serialize them into .json files.

Some existing adapters include fetching food expenses from UberEats or Bolt Food, or transportation expenses from Uber and Bolt.

Follows an example of the JSON output for such expenses:

[
    {
        "service": "Bolt Food",
        "restaurant": "Hello Beijing",
        "total_euros": 11.8,
        "date": "2023-02-14",
        "sender_email": "Bolt Food <[email protected]>"
    },
    {
        "service": "Bolt Food",
        "restaurant": "Poke House",
        "total_euros": 14.29,
        "date": "2023-02-11",
        "sender_email": "Bolt Food <[email protected]>"
    },
    {
        "service": "Bolt Food",
        "restaurant": "DOTE",
        "total_euros": 13.34,
        "date": "2023-02-08",
        "sender_email": "Bolt Food <[email protected]>"
    }
]
