Config
GPlayCli searches for the gplaycli.conf
file in the following places and uses the first file it finds using this priority:
- Current working directory
- ~/.local/etc/gplaycli/
- /usr/local/etc/gplaycli
- /etc/gplaycli
Login
There are 2 ways of authenticating: token (default) or credentials.
Token
GplayCli used to use a token from a token dispenser server located at https://matlink.fr/token/ to login in Google Play. Unfortunatly the server is not recheable and I don't what is needed for such a server so this does not work right now.
Credentials
If you want to use your own Google credentials, put
token=False
in the config file and type in your credentials in
gmail_address=
gmail_password=
variables.
Sometimes Google does not accept standard password login and you need to use App Passwords. For this you need to activate 2-Step Verification
