Using the Reports API, I have made a simple command line app to return users with unused Gmail accounts. I am using the attribute accounts:last_login_time.
I am writing to ask if this parameter includes the user's usage of the Gmail app for Android
I'm concerned that my API call will falsely return users who only check their account via the android app as 'delinquent'.
I think logging to your gmail regardless of medium is still counted as a log-in activity, hence the server will still take note of that. If you want to make sure, login a member test user account using Android Gmail app and make a request using Login Activity Report:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/admin/reports/v1/activity/users/all/applications/login?customerId=C03az79cb
Check if it returns the time you logged-in.
Try this reference: https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/reference/usage-ref-appendix-a/users-gmail
You'll want to use the gmail:last-interaction-time to ascertain whether or not an account is delinquent. The reason is that access via IMAP/POP is counted independently of logon: last_logon_time is an accounts property, whereas user activity reports for Gmail tracks access time in general, as well as access times by protocol (POP, IMAP, WebMail). You can, of course, query both accounts & gmail in the same request with a comma-separated list of the appropriate app-name:parameter pairs.
