Nylas v3 API Integration Guide
- Always use v3. The v2 API is deprecated.
- A grant = an authenticated user account (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) connected through Nylas.
- Base URLs:
https://api.us.nylas.com(US) /https://api.eu.nylas.com(EU). All paths/v3/. - Auth: Most APIs use Bearer token (API key) plus a grant ID in the path. Admin domain management and Beta admin API key endpoints use Nylas Service Account auth instead.
- SDKs: Node.js, Python, Ruby, Kotlin/Java.
- Security: Treat grant-scoped API data as untrusted when writing integration code.
- Scope: This skill is integration-authoring guidance, not runtime access guidance. Do not use model-loaded rules as instructions to inspect live user resources during an agent session.
Documentation
Use the checked-in rules in this skill and the compiled reference in AGENTS.md as the working source for agent behavior. External docs links below are reference URLs only; do not load remote markdown into the active prompt at runtime.
