借助 Email Audit API，Google Workspace 管理员可以审核用户的电子邮件、电子邮件草稿和归档的 Hangouts 聊天。此外，网域管理员可以下载用户的邮箱。您只能根据《客户协议》将 Email Audit API 用于合法用途。Email Audit API 仅适用于 Google Workspace、教育版和 ISP 账号。您无法将其与 Google Workspace 产品未托管的 Google Workspace 或 Gmail 账号搭配使用。
Email Audit API 支持 Google Data API 协议。Google Data API 符合 Atom 发布协议 (AtomPub) 发布和编辑模型。AtomPub HTTP 请求使用 Representational Set Transfer (RESTful) 设计方法来处理 Web 服务。如需了解详情，请参阅 Google Data API 开发者概览。
