Reviews

Listing reviews

Section titled “Listing reviews”
Terminal window
gplay reviews list                       # most recent reviews
gplay reviews list --stars 1-2           # only 1- and 2-star
gplay reviews list --stars 1,3,5         # a set
gplay reviews list --limit 20            # cap the count

--stars filters client-side (the API has no server-side rating filter), results auto-paginate until exhausted, and --output json is the {"reviews": [...]} pass-through reflecting the filtered set.

Replying

Section titled “Replying”
Terminal window
gplay reviews reply --review-id REVIEW_ID --reply "Thanks for the feedback!"

Batch replies

Section titled “Batch replies”

For support workflows (or an agent drafting replies for approval), reply takes a TSV stream — one <review-id>\t<reply text> line per reply, - for stdin:

Terminal window
gplay reviews reply --batch replies.tsv
gplay reviews list --stars 1-2 --output json | my-draft-tool | gplay reviews reply --batch -

Blank lines and # comments are skipped; replies containing tabs or newlines use RFC 4180 double-quoting. Each line posts sequentially — a failing line is reported on stderr and does not abort the rest, and the process exits with the highest exit code seen.

Use --dry-run to parse and print the planned replies without calling the API.

Permissions

Section titled “Permissions”

Replying requires the "Reply to reviews" permission on the service account in the Play Console — gplay auth doctor and the service account setup page cover granting it.
