node.js - Google Cloud Pub/Sub API - Push E-mail

Question

I'm using node.js to create an app that gets a PUSH from Gmail each time an email is received, checks it against a third party database in a CRM and creates a new field in the CRM if the e-mail is contained there. I'm having trouble using Google's new Cloud Pub/Sub, which seems to be the only way to get push from Gmail without constant polling.

I've gone through the instructions here: https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/prereqs but I don't understand how exactly this is supposed to work from an app on my desktop. It seems that pub/sub can connect to a verified domain, but I can't get it to connect directly toto the .js script that I have on my computer. I've saved the api key in a json file and use the following:

var gcloud = require('gcloud');
var pubsub;

// From Google Compute Engine:
pubsub = gcloud.pubsub({
  projectId: 'my-project',
});

// Or from elsewhere:
pubsub = gcloud.pubsub({
  projectId: 'my-project',
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

// Create a new topic.
pubsub.createTopic('my-new-topic', function(err, topic) {});

// Reference an existing topic.
var topic = pubsub.topic('my-existing-topic');

// Publish a message to the topic.
topic.publish('New message!', function(err) {});

// Subscribe to the topic.
topic.subscribe('new-subscription', function(err, subscription) {
  // Register listeners to start pulling for messages.
  function onError(err) {}
  function onMessage(message) {}
  subscription.on('error', onError);
  subscription.on('message', onMessage);

  // Remove listeners to stop pulling for messages.
  subscription.removeListener('message', onMessage);
  subscription.removeListener('error', onError);
});

However, I get errors as if it isn't connecting to server and on the API list I see only errors, no actual successes. I'm clearly doing something wrong, any idea what it might be?

Thank you in advance!
