Gplay Reports Download

Google Play Reports Download

Use this skill when you need to list or download financial reports (earnings, sales, payouts) or statistics reports (installs, ratings, crashes, store performance, subscriptions) from Google Play Console.

How reports work

Google Play Console reports are not available via the REST API. They are stored as CSV/ZIP files in Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets:

• Bucket name: varies by account — either pubsite_prod_rev_<id> or pubsite_prod_<id>. Always copy the exact URI from Play Console.
• Financial reports: earnings/, sales/, payouts/, play_balance_krw/, wht_statements/ prefixes
• Statistics reports: stats/installs/, stats/ratings/, stats/crashes/, stats/store_performance/, financial-stats/subscriptions/ prefixes

The service account must have access to the GCS bucket (this access is granted automatically when the service account is added to Play Console with appropriate permissions).

Prerequisites

• A service account configured via gplay auth login
• The GCS bucket ID (see below — this is not the same as the Play Console URL developer ID)
• For financial reports: VIEW_FINANCIAL_DATA permission (service account must be added to Play Console with "View financial data" access)
• For stats reports: VIEW_APP_INFORMATION permission (service account must be added to Play Console with "View app information" access)

Finding your bucket ID

Important: The bucket ID for reports is not the numeric ID in your Play Console URL. The URL ID and the GCS bucket ID are different.

To find the correct bucket ID:

1. Go to Google Play Console > Download reports (in the left sidebar under "Download reports")
2. Look for the Cloud Storage URI shown on that page, e.g.:

   Copy code
   gs://pubsite_prod_rev_12110000881713004121/
   

3. You can pass either the full URI or just the numeric ID: 12110000881713004121

Alternatively, use the Google Cloud Console to find the bucket name associated with your Play Console account.

Common mistake: Using the developer ID from the Play Console URL (https://play.google.com/console/developers/<this_id>/...) will result in a 404 Not Found error because the GCS bucket uses a different internal ID.
