Connect Google Play

Google splits this across two consoles — Google Cloud (where the key lives) and Play Console (where you grant it access). Every step below says which one you're in. The result is read-only: Reevee can download reports, never change anything.

Reporting bucket IDpubsite_prod_rev_01234567890987654321

Open Google Cloud Console

console.cloud.google.com

Sign in with the Google account that owns (or has admin on) your Play Console. In the project picker at the top, create a new project — name it something like reevee-integration — or select an existing one you use for Play APIs.

The Google Cloud Console project picker open with the cursor moving to New project

GUIDE

Enable the Play Developer API

Cloud Console→APIs & Services→Library

Search the library for Google Play Android Developer API and click Enable.

GUIDE

Create a service account

Cloud Console→IAM & Admin→Service Accounts→⊕ Create

Create a service account named reevee-data-access. You can skip the optional role and user-access screens — permissions come from Play Console in step 5, not from Cloud IAM.

GUIDE

Create and download the JSON key

Service account→Keys→Add Key→Create new key→JSON

Open the service account you just created, go to the Keys tab, and create a JSON key. The file downloads automatically.

⚠ ImportantThis JSON file is the credential — anyone holding it can read your reports. Store it like a password. If it ever leaks, delete the key in this same screen and create a new one.

GUIDE

Grant it access in Play Console

play.google.com/console→Users and permissions→Invite new users

Now switch consoles. In Play Console, invite the service account's email (it looks like reevee-data-access@…iam.gserviceaccount.com — copy it from the JSON file's client_email field). Then switch to the Account permissions tab and check View app information and download bulk reports (read-only) and View financial data, orders, and cancellation survey responses, then press Invite user.

📘 Good to knowPlay Console permissions can take a little while to propagate — if validation fails right after this step, wait a few minutes and retry. Google documents delays of up to 24 hours, though minutes is typical.

GUIDE

Find your reporting bucket ID

Play Console→Download reports→Financial

Google delivers monthly earnings reports through a Cloud Storage bucket. In Play Console, open Download reports → Financial and click Copy Cloud Storage URI. It looks like gs://pubsite_prod_rev_0123…/earnings/ — the part starting with pubsite_prod_rev_ is your bucket ID.

GUIDE

Connect it in Reevee

Reevee→Settings→Integrations→Connect Google Play

In Reevee, open Settings → Integrations, click Connect Google Play, upload the JSON key file, and paste the bucket ID. Reevee validates against Google immediately, backfills your order history, and from then on new purchases stream in near real time via Google's developer notifications.

GUIDE

That's it.

Google data flows in two speeds: purchases in near real time, monthly earnings (the accounting truth) around the 5th of each month — Reevee reconciles both automatically. Also connecting Apple? That guide is here.
