gplay reviews history

Read the full review history for --package from Google's monthly CSV reports in the developer's Reporting bucket — the only channel beyond reviews list's 7-day API window (ADR-0037).

The report is read from the Reporting bucket over the Cloud Storage API with a distinct read-only scope (devstorage.read_only); the service account needs the "View app information" (global) permission. The bucket name defaults to pubsite_prod_rev_<developerId> from the developer-account axis; override it with --bucket when the Console-issued URI differs (copy it with the Console's "Copy Cloud Storage URI" button).

--month YYYY-MM selects one month; when omitted, the latest month present for the package is used. --from YYYY-MM --to YYYY-MM instead read every monthly report across the range and merge them into one result set (a review edited across the month boundary appears once, latest update winning; a month with no report is skipped with a WARN). --month and --from/--to are mutually exclusive. Default table columns: date, stars, locale, version, title, summary — override with --columns device,reply,...

--output json emits the parsed rows as {"reviews":[...]} with stable lowerCamel field names (the documented ADR-0037 deviation: the upstream is a CSV file, not a JSON API response); --output markdown renders a Markdown table.

[experimental] — the surface may still evolve (ADR-0010).
