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.

Python

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',
    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
