¹ If google_list_reviews returns an empty array for an app that has visible reviews in Play Console, first check that the linked service account has the "Reply to reviews" account permission (Play Console → Users and permissions) — the API does not raise a distinct error for a missing permission, it just returns no results. Also note the endpoint only surfaces recent reviews; use pageToken to page through more.

² One-time Products (monetization.onetimeproducts) is Google Play's newer purchase model for buy/rent items, distinct from the older inappproducts API. Purchase options are created active by default; use google_deactivate_purchase_option to pull one down without deleting the product.

Example arguments for google_create_subscription:

{
  "packageName": "com.example.app",
  "productId": "com.example.app.pro_monthly",
  "listings": [
    {
      "languageCode": "en-US",
      "title": "Pro Monthly",
      "description": "Unlock all premium features.",
      "benefits": ["Ad-free", "Cloud sync", "Priority support"]
    }
  ],
  "basePlans": [
    {
      "basePlanId": "pro-monthly",
      "autoRenewing": {
        "billingPeriodDuration": "P1M",
        "gracePeriodDuration": "P3D",
        "accountHoldDuration": "P30D"
      },

        { "regionCode": "TR", "priceMicros": "99000000", "currency": "TRY" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Prices are given in micros (1 USD = 1,000,000 micros) and converted to the Play API's Money shape (units + nanos) internally. regionsVersion defaults to 2022/02, which the Play API currently requires when regional pricing is supplied.
