Creates an in-app product (a managed product or a subscription). This method should no longer be used to create subscriptions. See this article for more information.

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: androidpublisher3 --scope <scope> inappproducts insert ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <package-name> (string)
    • Package name of the app.

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:

InAppProduct:
  default-language: string
  default-price:
    currency: string
    price-micros: string
  grace-period: string
  managed-product-taxes-and-compliance-settings:
    eea-withdrawal-right-type: string
    is-tokenized-digital-asset: boolean
  package-name: string
  purchase-type: string
  sku: string
  status: string
  subscription-period: string
  subscription-taxes-and-compliance-settings:
    eea-withdrawal-right-type: string
    is-tokenized-digital-asset: boolean
  trial-period: 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 . default-language=dolore
    • Default language of the localized data, as defined by BCP-47. e.g. "en-US".
  • default-price currency=dolore
    • 3 letter Currency code, as defined by ISO 4217. See java/com/google/common/money/CurrencyCode.java

  • price-micros=dolore

    • Price in 1/million of the currency base unit, represented as a string.

  • .. grace-period=voluptua.

    • Grace period of the subscription, specified in ISO 8601 format. Allows developers to give their subscribers a grace period when the payment for the new recurrence period is declined. Acceptable values are P0D (zero days), P3D (three days), P7D (seven days), P14D (14 days), and P30D (30 days).
  • managed-product-taxes-and-compliance-settings eea-withdrawal-right-type=amet.
    • Digital content or service classification for products distributed to users in the European Economic Area (EEA). The withdrawal regime under EEA consumer laws depends on this classification. Refer to the Help Center article for more information.

  • is-tokenized-digital-asset=false

    • Whether this in-app product is declared as a product representing a tokenized digital asset.

  • .. package-name=lorem

    • Package name of the parent app.
  • purchase-type=invidunt
    • The type of the product, e.g. a recurring subscription.
  • sku=no
    • Stock-keeping-unit (SKU) of the product, unique within an app.
  • status=est
    • The status of the product, e.g. whether it's active.
  • subscription-period=at
    • Subscription period, specified in ISO 8601 format. Acceptable values are P1W (one week), P1M (one month), P3M (three months), P6M (six months), and P1Y (one year).
  • subscription-taxes-and-compliance-settings eea-withdrawal-right-type=sed
    • Digital content or service classification for products distributed to users in the European Economic Area (EEA). The withdrawal regime under EEA consumer laws depends on this classification. Refer to the Help Center article for more information.

  • is-tokenized-digital-asset=false

    • Whether this subscription is declared as a product representing a tokenized digital asset.

  • .. trial-period=et

    • Trial period, specified in ISO 8601 format. Acceptable values are anything between P7D (seven days) and P999D (999 days).

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 Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p auto-convert-missing-prices=boolean
    • If true the prices for all regions targeted by the parent app that don't have a price specified for this in-app product will be auto converted to the target currency based on the default price. Defaults to false.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.
