Defers a user's subscription purchase until a specified future expiration time.

Scopes

You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/androidpublisher. You can set the scope for this method like this: androidpublisher2 --scope <scope> purchases subscriptions-defer ...

Required Scalar Arguments

  • <package-name> (string)
    • The package name of the application for which this subscription was purchased (for example, 'com.some.thing').
  • <subscription-id> (string)
    • The purchased subscription ID (for example, 'monthly001').
  • <token> (string)
    • The token provided to the user's device when the subscription was purchased.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

SubscriptionPurchasesDeferRequest:
  deferral-info:
    desired-expiry-time-millis: string
    expected-expiry-time-millis: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r .deferral-info desired-expiry-time-millis=amet.
    • The desired next expiry time to assign to the subscription, in milliseconds since the Epoch. The given time must be later/greater than the current expiry time for the subscription.
  • expected-expiry-time-millis=sed
    • The expected expiry time for the subscription. If the current expiry time for the subscription is not the value specified here, the deferral will not occur.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for the response.

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string
