usage.py
from openemail import openemail page = openemail.labels.list(limit=50)every = openemail.labels.list_all()colors = openemail.labels.list_colors() created = openemail.labels.create({    'name': 'Invoices',    'color': {'backgroundColor': 'gradient:sunset'},}) openemail.labels.update(created['id'], {'name': 'Invoices 2027'})openemail.labels.update(created['id'], {'color': {'backgroundColor': '#3B82F6'}})openemail.labels.delete(created['id'])

list returns one Page of labels sorted by name, and list_all and iterate walk every page. Each label carries its colour, threadCount and when it was created and last changed. list_colors returns the palette the app offers, fourteen solids and seven gradients, as a plain list. type is always user. The id comes from the name the label was created with, so Invoices is USER_INVOICES, and it never changes.

A label belongs to the workspace, so a rename, a recolour or a delete changes it for every member and every key. threads.update puts labels on a conversation and takes them off, and threads.list(folder='USER_INVOICES') lists every conversation carrying one.

Parameters: labels.create and labels.update

namestr
The label's display name, trimmed before it is measured, so the limit is 1 to 225 characters after trimming. Required on `create` and optional on `update`, where leaving it out keeps the name. Whitespace alone is a 422. A name another label already has, compared without case, is a 409 `label_name_taken`, and `create` refuses once the workspace holds 50 labels, with a 422 `label_limit_reached`.
colorLabelColorInput | None
Optional on both calls. Leaving it out on `update` keeps the stored colour, and `None` clears it. The body is strict, so a near-miss key such as `colour` is a 422 rather than a silent no-op.
color.backgroundColorstrrequired
A hex colour (`#RGB`, `#RGBA`, `#RRGGBB` or `#RRGGBBAA`, stored upper-cased) or a gradient token: `gradient:sunset`, `gradient:ember`, `gradient:meadow`, `gradient:lagoon`, `gradient:aurora`, `gradient:berry` or `gradient:midnight`. An empty string means no colour, and anything else is a 422 `invalid_parameter`.
color.textColorstr
Accepted and ignored. The ink is worked out from `backgroundColor`, the same way the app does it.

Response: LabelResource

objectLiteral['label']
Always the string `label`. `create` and `update` return this same type, read back as it is stored.
idstr
The label's id, and what `get`, `update`, `delete` and `threads.update` take. It never changes, even after a rename.
namestr
What the user sees.
typestr
Always `user`. System labels are never served here, and a system id on `get` is a 404.
colorLabelColor | None
`None` when the label has no colour.
color.backgroundColorstr
The stored colour: a hex value or a gradient token. `list_colors` gives a gradient's two ends.
color.textColorstr
The ink the app draws on the colour, `#18181B` or `#FFFFFF`, worked out on the server rather than stored.
threadCountint
How many conversations carry the label now. For a key limited to particular addresses, only conversations delivered to them count.
createdAtstr | None
When the label was made, as ISO 8601, or `None` for a label made before these times were recorded.
updatedAtstr | None
The last rename or recolour, as ISO 8601, or `None` for a label made before these times were recorded.

Response: LabelColorResource

kindLiteral['solid', 'gradient']
Whether the swatch is one colour or a gradient.
namestr
The swatch name, such as `red` or `sunset`.
valuestr
What to send as `color.backgroundColor` to use this swatch.
solidstr
One hex for places a gradient cannot be drawn. The same as `value` on a solid.
fromstr | None
Where a gradient starts, drawn at 135 degrees. `None` on a solid.
tostr | None
Where a gradient ends. `None` on a solid.
textColorstr
The ink the app draws on this swatch.
