Google play python API

This project contains an unofficial API for google play interactions. The code mainly comes from GooglePlayAPI project which is not maintained anymore. The code was updated with some important changes:

• ac2dm authentication with checkin and device info upload
• updated search and download calls
• select the device you want to fake from a list of pre-defined values (check device.properties) (defaults to a OnePlus One)

Usage

You can see the usage in the scripts directory.

Build the project

docker build -t googleplay_api .

Run the Project

cd ~/googleplay-api
docker run -it -v ./scripts/:/scripts -v ./config/:/config -v ./info/:/info googleplay_api:latest

I like to have different folders for each purpose so I can change everything dynamically.

• scripts: That contains scripts
• config: That contains the configuration for the login
• info: That contains files that have the output of the scripts

Configs

First create a directory called "config" and then create a file called login.json with the following information

{
	"test_device": {
		"username": "<google_email_account>",
		"password": "<app_password>",
		"deviceName": "<codename_device>",
		"gsfId" : <gsf_id>
	}
}

Password

To create password first add two factor authentication to the google account. Then create a application password in the button below two factor authentication in the google account.

deviceName

There is a list of device names in /gpapi/device.properties, choose one and then add the codename, for "Nexus 5 (api 27)" the code name is "hammerhead"

gsfId

To get this value go to "gpapi"->"device.properties" file. In the case of the deviceName "hammerhead", search for the GSF.version and you will find 12688048.

Errors

gpapi.googleplay.RequestError: 'Error retrieving information from server. DF-DFERH-01'

• NoMore201#105
• It may mean that we need to refresh the gsfid and auth_sub_token by generating another app token in the Google Account under the "securit" tab.
• "two-factor authentication"->"Apps Passwords"
