What are ways to send cross-domain request to Gmail feeds?

I know the url is:

https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom

It seems like gmail API only provides gmail feeds with XML format. How do I get around the situation? This piece of code doesn't seem to work.

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom',
    dataType: 'xml',
    type: 'GET',
    success: function(res) {
        var headline = res.responseXML;
        console.log(headline);
    },
    error: function() {
        console.log('failed');
    }
});

Thanks.

  • You can't. Letting any random web site read your email would be a bad thing.
