README
ExPlay
Google Play (Android Market) API in Elixir :computer:
(Ported from node-google-play
)
Installation
Add explay
to your list of dependencies in mix.exs
:
def deps do
[{:explay, "~> 0.1.5"}]
end
Install JS Dependency
Right now, there isn't an erlang/elixir implementation of Google's Protobuf library
that can decode v2 data correctly, so we're relying on the npm module protobufjs
.
In your project's root, run:
npm init
npm install protobufjs --save
or if you prefer yarn
:
yarn add protobufjs
Usage
There are a lot of modules, each handling their own relevant API calls, but you need to be concerned with only two:
- ExPlay.Account
- ExPlay.Request
Authentication
To interact with the Google Play API and get back data, you need a valid and authenticated Google account (with email, password and device id).
# Save this account object to later use in API requests
account = %ExPlay.Account{email: "[email protected]", password: "12345678", device_id: "XXXXXXXX"}
account = ExPlay.Account.authenticate!(account)
Get App Details
{:ok, app} = ExPlay.Request.package_details(account, "com.facebook.katana")
app.title
# => "Facebook"
app.descriptionHtml
# => "Keeping up with friends is faster than ever..."
app.details.appDetails.numDownloads
# => "1,000,000,000+ downloads"
app.details.appDetails.versionCode
# => 41212272
# And lots of other stuff. Use Map.keys(app) to get an idea of the response.
Get App Delivery Data
You can get an app's delivery data using ExPlay.Request.package_download_info/2
.
It will return a map with a downloadable APK url and authorization cookies which
you can pass to any HTTP client to download the APK (Even wget
or curl
).
Note: The package
here can be the app's bundle identifier string or a
{bundle, version}
tuple.
{:ok, info} = ExPlay.Request.package_download_info(account, "com.facebook.katana")
info.downloadUrl
# => "https://play.googlezip.net/market/download/Download?packageName=com.facebook.katana&versionCode=41212272&ssl..."
info.downloadAuthCookie
# => [%{"name" => "MarketDA", "value" => "09919279757374609811"}]
Download APK
Alternatively, you can let ExPlay
download the app for you. Specify the package
you want to download and a (writable) path where you'd like to save it.
Note: The package
here can be the app's bundle identifier string or a
{bundle, version}
tuple.
ExPlay.Request.download!(account, "com.facebook.katana", "/tmp/facebook.apk")
# => :ok
