--- name: google-play description: | Google Play Developer API (Android Publisher) integration with managed OAuth. Manage apps, subscriptions, in-app purchases, and reviews. Use this skill when users want to interact with Google Play Console programmatically. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY --- # Google Play Access the Google Play Developer API (Android Publisher) with managed OAuth authentication. Manage app listings, subscriptions, in-app purchases, reviews, and more. ## Quick Start ```bash # List in-app products python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://api.maton.ai/google-play/{native-api-path} ``` Maton proxies requests to `androidpublisher.googleapis.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Google OAuth connections at `https://api.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=google-play&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-play'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "{connection_id}", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "google-play", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Google Play connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account. ## Security & Permissions - Access is scoped to apps, subscriptions, in-app purchases, and reviews within the connected Google Play account. - **All write operations require explicit user approval.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user. ## API Reference ### In-App Products #### List In-App Products ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts ``` #### Get In-App Product ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts/{sku} ``` #### Create In-App Product ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts Content-Type: application/json { "packageName": "com.example.app", "sku": "premium_upgrade", "status": "active", "purchaseType": "managedUser", "defaultPrice": { "priceMicros": "990000", "currency": "USD" }, "listings": { "en-US": { "title": "Premium Upgrade", "description": "Unlock all premium features" } } } ``` #### Update In-App Product ```bash PUT /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts/{sku} Content-Type: application/json { "packageName": "com.example.app", "sku": "premium_upgrade", "status": "active", "purchaseType": "managedUser", "defaultPrice": { "priceMicros": "1990000", "currency": "USD" } } ``` #### Delete In-App Product ```bash DELETE /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts/{sku} ``` ### Subscriptions #### List Subscriptions ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/subscriptions ``` #### Get Subscription ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/subscriptions/{productId} ``` #### Create Subscription ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/subscriptions Content-Type: application/json { "productId": "monthly_premium", "basePlans": [ { "basePlanId": "p1m", "autoRenewingBasePlanType": { "billingPeriodDuration": "P1M" } } ], "listings": [ { "languageCode": "en-US", "title": "Premium Monthly" } ] } ``` ### Purchases #### Get Purchase (one-time product) ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/purchases/products/{productId}/tokens/{token} ``` #### Acknowledge Purchase ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/purchases/products/{productId}/tokens/{token}:acknowledge Content-Type: application/json { "developerPayload": "optional payload" } ``` #### Get Subscription Purchase ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/purchases/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/tokens/{token} ``` #### Cancel Subscription ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/purchases/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/tokens/{token}:cancel ``` #### Refund Subscription ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/purchases/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/tokens/{token}:refund ``` ### Reviews #### List Reviews ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/reviews ``` #### Get Review ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/reviews/{reviewId} ``` #### Reply to Review ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/reviews/{reviewId}:reply Content-Type: application/json { "replyText": "Thank you for your feedback!" } ``` ### Edits (App Updates) #### Create Edit ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/edits ``` #### Get Edit ```bash GET /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/edits/{editId} ``` #### Commit Edit ```bash POST /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/edits/{editId}:commit ``` #### Delete Edit ```bash DELETE /google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/edits/{editId} ``` ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript // List in-app products const packageName = 'com.example.app'; const response = await fetch( `https://api.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/${packageName}/inappproducts`, { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); const products = await response.json(); console.log(products); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} package_name = 'com.example.app' # List in-app products response = requests.get( f'https://api.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{package_name}/inappproducts', headers=headers ) products = response.json() print(products) ``` ## Notes - Replace `{packageName}` with your app's package name (e.g., `com.example.app`) - The Google Play Developer API requires the app to be published on Google Play - Subscription management requires the app to have active subscriptions configured - Edits are transactional - create an edit, make changes, then commit - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Google Play connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 404 | Package not found or no access | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Play API | ### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name 1. Ensure your URL path starts with `google-play`. For example: - Correct: `https://api.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts` - Incorrect: `https://api.maton.ai/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts` ## Resources - [Android Publisher API Overview](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher) - [In-App Products](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/inappproducts) - [Subscriptions](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/monetization.subscriptions) - [Purchases](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/purchases.products) - [Reviews](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/reviews) - [Edits](https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/rest/v3/edits) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:support@maton.ai)
