Indeed; I've just modified the implementation a little bit so that it returns a
post-processing view with the result (the version in Gmsh 4.2.0 only outputs a
message). It will work for 1D, 2D and 3D. With the latest development snapshot,
you can then just do something like this (here in Python):
import gmsh
gmsh.initialize()
gmsh.option.setNumber("General.Terminal", 1)
s = gmsh.model.occ.addRectangle(0,0,0, 3,2)
gmsh.model.occ.synchronize()
p = gmsh.model.addPhysicalGroup(2, [s])
gmsh.model.mesh.generate(2)
gmsh.plugin.setNumber("MeshVolume", "Dimension", 2)
gmsh.plugin.setNumber("MeshVolume", "Physical", p)
gmsh.plugin.run("MeshVolume")
_, _, data = gmsh.view.getListData(0)
print(data)
gmsh.finalize()

Plugin(Integrate) is indeed also a possibility, that will also work in 1D, 2D
and 3D. It's a bit more complicated, tough, as you need to create a
post-processing view first (e.g. with "NewView"), then set the value to 1 (e.g.
with "ModifyComponents"), then hide the parts of the mesh that you don't want
consider, and finally call "Integrate". But it's of course more general, as you
can integrate any function.
Cheers,
