Sends a request to Gmail API and shows subject of first five messages which might be congratulating the receiver.
This uses Gmail API call to return user's messages and then uses python's NLTK library for text parsing and returns the subject of the first five E-mails where the user is being congratulated.
Python 3.x
Pickle This comes installed with python package.

Gmail API is very extensive but at the same time, very difficult to understand from the documentation.
I'll try and make python scripts for the major API calls as tutorial. And maybe sprinkle a bit of text analysis and machine learning.
