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://gateway.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://gateway.maton.ai/google-play/{native-api-path}

Replace

{native-api-path}

with the actual Android Publisher API endpoint path. The gateway 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

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://ctrl.maton.ai

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'google-play'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.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', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

const packageName = 'com.example.app';
const response = await fetch(
  `https://gateway.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

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://gateway.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{package_name}/inappproducts&#x27;,
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

Check that the
```
MATON_API_KEY
```
environment 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://ctrl.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

Ensure your URL path starts with
```
google-play
```
. For example:

Correct:

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-play/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts

Incorrect:

https://gateway.maton.ai/androidpublisher/v3/applications/{packageName}/inappproducts
