We can integrate directly with Google Play via their API. All we need from you is a JSON key file, and then we can take care of the rest!

**To generate a JSON file:**

01. Visit the Google API console and login with your Google Play Console account

02. Create a new project titled 'Chattermill'

03. Go to API & Services in the left-hand navigation panel and select Dashboard

04. Enable API & Services if you haven't already done so

05. Type `androidpublisher` in Search for APIs & Service

06. Enable Google Play Android Developer API

07. In the left-hand menu, select `Credentials` and click `Credentials in APIs & Services` link

08. Click on `Create Credentials` and select `Service account key`

09. Select `New service account` and complete form. Select `Role = Service Account User`, then select `Key type: JSON`

10. Visit [https://play.google.com/apps/publish](https://play.google.com/apps/publish). Go to `settings` on the left, select `API Access`, and then `Service Accounts`.

11. Here, you should see the Service account you created for Chattermill. Select `Grant Permission` and then select `Read only access`.

For your reference, the JSON file should look like the below:

{ “type”: “service_account”, “project_id”: "project-123123", “private_key_id”: “1234567890123456789012345678901234567890", “private_key”: “-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n”, “client_email”: “project@project-123123.iam.gserviceaccount.com”, “client_id”: “123123...123123", “auth_uri”: “https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", “token_uri”: “https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", “auth_provider_x509_cert_url”: “https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", “client_x509_cert_url”: “https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/project%project-123123.iam.gserviceaccount.com" }
