Gmail restricted API, No code vs Full Code

Hi All,

I am a non-coder solo founder working on making a feature that exacts purchase data (product title, price, store name, date of purchase) from the users email and displaying it in a dashboard.

I was planning on building this in bubble. I learn that in order to read users email, I will need access to one of gmail's restricted APIs. This entails a third party security assessment that can cost from $15-75K.

One way to by pass this security assessment is by making the API calls, parsing the emails, storing and displaying this data all from the client side instead of server side. It seems like a full code solution might be better for this use case?

Thoughts from any bubble makers or folk who have delt with restricted gmail apis before?
