# Google play python API [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/NoMore201/googleplay-api.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/NoMore201/googleplay-api)

This project contains an unofficial API for google play interactions. The code mainly comes from
[GooglePlayAPI project](https://github.com/egirault/googleplay-api/) 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
* using headers of a Nexus 6P. Add you own device under `device.properties` file

# Usage
Check the test.py module for a simple example.

An important note about login function:
```
def login(self, email=None, password=None, gsfId=None, authSubToken=None)
```
for first time logins, you should only provide email and password.
The module will take care of initalizing the api,upload device information 
to the google account you supplied, and retrieving 
a Google Service Framework ID (which, from now on, will be the android ID of a device).

For the next logins you **should** save the gsfId and the authSubToken, and provide them as parameters to the login function. If you login again with email and password only, this is the equivalent of re-initalizing your android device with a google account.

# API reversing

Since I started playing with a more recent version of the GooglePlay API on LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1) using [mitmproxy](https://mitmproxy.org/), I gathered some information about new APIs.
Checkout the Documentation folder for more details on single API endpoints.

# Development status
- [ ] Investigate how paid apps download works
- [ ] Investigate if it's possible to dowload apk with obb files
