Trying to get a count of labels used in Gmail using Gmail API

I am trying to go one level deeper with the demo code that utilises labels to extract the count of each label used within my inbox. e.g label1 = 5, label2 =10 etc and with a date. Any suggestions?

Demo code:

function listLabels() {

  var response = Gmail.Users.Labels.list('me');

  if (response.labels.length == 0) {

    Logger.log('No labels found.');

  } else {

    Logger.log('Labels:');

    for (var i = 0; i < response.labels.length; i++) {

      var label = response.labels[i];

      Logger.log('- %s', label.name);

    }

  }

}

Welcome. What is the question? Where did you find the demo? Have you already read developers.google.com/apps-script/overview?

I would suggest to take a look at using the Users.messages:list function call here: developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/… . You could get a list of messages that match a given label Id
