Get a list of mails with attachments on Gmail API

So I have to build a browser extension that extracts all the emails with extensions. I am at a loss however, how to go about it. What I essentially need is for the extension to extract a list of emails with descriptions as to whether they have attachments with them. Now I tried the gmail atom feed but it only shows unread emails, and doesn't give a lot of information about the message either. Is there another method of doing it.

Is there like an API for gmail that allows all this to be done easily and seemlessly. I feel like I am missing something obvious. I know i am being vague here, but I really don't have clue how to do this.

I know this is quite an old question but since this question was posted Google has released a WEB API to work with gmail.

It can be done using IMAP doing search for "has:attachment". Samples and description can be found under the following resource:
