For Agents
Query Android app vitals, error issues, and anomalies from Google Play Console for an app and any release filter.
Use for: Find the top crash error issues for a Play Console app, Get the crash rate metric for the last 28 days, Check whether a release introduced an ANR rate anomaly, List all anomalies detected on a metric set this week
Not supported: Does not publish releases, modify store listings, or stream raw events — use only to read aggregated Play Console vitals, error issues, and anomalies.
The Google Play Developer Reporting API gives Android app developers programmatic access to the same vitals, errors, and anomaly data that appear in Play Console. Across 7 endpoints it exposes searchable apps, queryable metric sets such as crash rate and ANR rate, error issue search, anomaly listing, and release-filter option fetching. Developers can build dashboards, alerting pipelines, and post-release health checks without scraping Play Console.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Google Play Developer Reporting API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Google Play Developer Reporting API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Google Play Developer Reporting API.
Search apps by package name to confirm reporting access for a developer account
Query metric sets such as crash rate, ANR rate, slow-rendering rate, and excessive-wakeup rate
Fetch release filter options including app version, country, device type, and Android version
Search error issues to find the top crashes affecting an app's users
List anomalies that Google Play has automatically detected on key vitals
Inspect anomaly time ranges and impacted dimensions to investigate regressions
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Google Play Developer Reporting API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Release Health Dashboard
Build an internal dashboard that polls crash rate, ANR rate, and slow-rendering metrics per app version after every release. The metrics:query endpoint returns metric values broken down by dimensions like versionCode, countryCode, and deviceModel, and the anomalies list flags regressions automatically. Teams replace manual Play Console screenshotting with a continuously-refreshing release health view.
POST /v1beta1/{name}:query against the crashRateMetricSet with dimensions=['versionCode'], metrics=['crashRate'], and a 7-day timeline to chart crash rate per version.
Post-Release Regression Alerting
Wire Play's anomaly detection into the team's incident channel. The anomalies list endpoint returns anomalies the Play platform has detected on metric sets such as ANR rate or excessive wakeups, with the dimensions and time range affected. A scheduled job pulls new anomalies hourly and posts them to Slack with a deep link to Play Console for triage.
GET /v1beta1/{parent}/anomalies?filter=metricSet="crashRateMetricSet" and forward each new anomaly's dimensions and time range to Slack.
Top Crash Triage
Surface the top error issues affecting users so engineering can prioritise fixes. The errorIssues:search endpoint returns ranked error issues with sample stack traces, occurrence counts, and affected app versions. Exporting daily into a bug tracker lets teams treat the top 10 crashes as standing tickets without manual Play Console export.
GET /v1beta1/{parent}/errorIssues:search?pageSize=10&filter=type=CRASH and create a Jira ticket for each issue not already tracked.
AI Agent Vitals Querying via Jentic
Engineering agents that triage post-release health can call the Reporting API through Jentic without managing OAuth scopes or metric-set names directly. Jentic stores the developer's refresh token in its vault and exposes the right metricSet:query operation as a single search-load-execute call, turning a multi-day reporting integration into a same-day automation.
Search Jentic for 'query Android crash rate', load the metricSets.query schema, and execute it with the crashRateMetricSet name and a 14-day timeline.

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Play Console service-account credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped, short-lived access tokens at call time so the service account JSON never enters agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic with intents like 'query Android crash rate' or 'list Android app anomalies' and receive the matching metric-set or anomalies operation with its full input schema.
Time to first call
Direct integration: 2-3 days for service account setup, scope linkage, and metric-set schema discovery. Through Jentic: under 1 hour.

FAQs
Specific to using Google Play Developer Reporting API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Play Developer Reporting API use?
It uses OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/playdeveloperreporting scope and is typically called with a service account linked to the Play Console. Through Jentic the refresh token or service account credential is held in the Jentic vault and a scoped access token is injected at call time.
Can I get crash rate broken down by app version?
Yes. POST /v1beta1/{crashRateMetricSet}:query accepts a dimensions array including versionCode, countryCode, and deviceModel, plus a metrics array such as ['crashRate', 'distinctUsers']. Use fetchReleaseFilterOptions to discover which dimension values are valid for the selected app.
What are the rate limits for this API?
The API enforces standard Google Cloud project quotas measured in queries per minute. Metric queries are heavier than search calls, so dashboards that fan out across many metric sets in parallel may need a quota increase via Google Cloud Console.
How do I list anomalies through Jentic?
Run jentic search 'list Android app anomalies', load the schema for GET /v1beta1/{parent}/anomalies, and execute it with the app's parent resource name and an optional filter such as metricSet="crashRateMetricSet". Jentic handles OAuth automatically.
Is the Play Developer Reporting API free?
There is no per-call charge for the API itself, but it requires an active Google Play developer account and Google Cloud project. Standard quotas apply and metric queries are subject to reasonable-use limits.
Can I get sample stack traces for top crashes?
Yes. GET /v1beta1/{parent}/errorIssues:search returns ranked error issues with sample stack traces, occurrence counts, and the app versions affected, ranked by user impact. Use the issue's resource name to fetch deeper detail or to deep-link into Play Console.
