Google Play

Connect your Google Play developer account to pull revenue reports, download stats, and Android app reviews.

What it pulls

Reports are downloaded from your Google Cloud Storage bucket (where Play Console exports them automatically).

Setup method: invitation-based

Google Play uses two separate invitations — one for API access and one for report storage.

What you'll invite

Fload provides two email addresses:

1. Service account email — needs access to your Google Play developer account for API calls.
2. Analyst email — data-explorer@fload.ai — needs read access to your Cloud Storage bucket where Play Console exports reports.

Steps

1. Grant Google Play Console access (service account)

1. In Fload, go to Connectors → Add connector → Google Play.
2. Search for your publisher/app.
3. Fload shows you the service account email and analyst email to invite.
4. Go to Google Play Console → Users and permissions → Invite new users.
5. Enter the service account email Fload gave you.
6. Grant these permissions:

• View app information and download bulk reports (required)
• View financial data, orders, and cancellation survey responses (required for revenue)

1. Click Invite user and Apply.

2. Grant Cloud Storage access (analyst account)

Play Console exports reports to a Cloud Storage bucket automatically. Fload needs read access to download them.

1. Go to Google Cloud Console → Cloud Storage → Buckets.
2. Find the bucket named pubsite_prod_{your_developer_id}.
3. Click the bucket → Permissions → Grant Access.
4. Add data-explorer@fload.ai with the Storage Object Viewer role.
5. Click Save.

3. Complete setup in Fload

Back in Fload, click Complete setup. Fload will validate access and begin the initial sync.

Finding your developer ID

Your Developer Account ID is a numeric ID visible in Play Console URLs: https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/{YOUR_ID}/

What features this enables

• Revenue and download metrics for Android apps
• Country breakdown for revenue
• Review Agent (Android reviews)
• AI chat — query Android app data
• Anomaly detection on Play metrics

Data freshness

Google Play financial reports are typically available 2–3 days after the reporting period ends. Download and install counts update daily. Fload syncs on a regular schedule and picks up new reports as they arrive.

Troubleshooting

"No reports found" after setup The Play Console may not have exported any reports yet if your account is new. Reports start appearing after your first sales. Alternatively, check that the Cloud Storage bucket name is correct — it should be pubsite_prod_{developer_id}.

Revenue data missing Make sure the service account was granted View financial data permission in Play Console, not just app info.

Connector is healthy but reviews aren't showing Android reviews sync separately from revenue reports. Ensure the service account has permissions to access the Reviews API through Play Console.
