I'm creating a forwarding address for my Gmail account with Gmail API. I know that if function 

service.users().settings().forwardingAddresses().create(userId='me', body=address).execute()

returns a result with a verificationStatus of pending, the recipient has to verify the email with a link or a verification code.

I can enter the verification code here in Gmail Settings>Forwarding , but is there a way where I can enter the verification code with the Gmail API?

According to the Gmail API documentation, if Gmail requires verification for a forwarding address, a verification message is sent to the target email address and returned status is 'pending'. The owner of the target email address must complete the verification process before it can be used.

Unfortunately, the Gmail API does not have a verify method for forwarding addresses. The list of methods and paramaters for the Users.settings.forwardingAddresses method can be found here where it details that on call of forwardingAddresses.create(args):

"...if ownership verification is required, a message will be sent to the recipient and the resource's verification status will be set to pending; otherwise, the resource will be created with verification status set to accepted.
