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
# 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))
EOFBase 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_KEYEnvironment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.
List Connections
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))
EOFCreate Connection
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))
EOFGet Connection
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))
EOFResponse:

}Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
Delete Connection
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))
EOFSpecifying Connection
If you have multiple Google Play connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:
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))
EOFIf 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.

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 -gwhen URLs contain brackets (fields[],sort[],records[]) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay 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
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
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))
EOFTroubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- 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
