gplay reviews reply
Post developer responses to user reviews.
Single: gplay reviews reply --package P --review-id ID --reply "Thanks!" Batch: gplay reviews reply --package P --batch replies.tsv gplay reviews reply --package P --batch - (read TSV from stdin)
The batch stream is TSV: one <review-id>\t<reply text> line per reply. Blank lines and lines starting with # are skipped; a reply containing tabs or newlines must be double-quoted (RFC 4180 quoting). Each line is posted sequentially; a per-line failure is reported on stderr and does not abort the rest. The process exits non-zero with the highest exit code seen across rows.
--review-id/--reply and --batch are mutually exclusive. --dry-run parses the input and prints the planned actions without calling the API. --output json echoes the API response (single) or a {"results":[...]} envelope (batch).
