To process unprocessed emails in a Flask API, you can follow these steps:
Define a route in your Flask API that will receive the unprocessed emails. This can be done using the @app.route()
decorator.
Within the route function, use a module/library like python's imaplib
to connect to an email server (e.g., Gmail) and retrieve the unprocessed emails.
Process the email data using any relevant logic (e.g., extract specific information from the email, perform sentiment analysis on the email content).
Store the processed email data in a structured format (e.g., a database, JSON file) for future retrieval.
Send a response back to the sender indicating the success/failure of the processing, and any relevant information (e.g., processed data, error messages).
Schedule the route to run at regular intervals (e.g., every minute, every hour) using a scheduler library like python's apscheduler
or an external tool like cron
.
