咨询可管理Apple/Google In-App Products的API及网站集成方案

Great question! Both Google and Apple offer official APIs that let you manage in-app products directly from your own website or backend system—no more manual trips to their developer portals. Here's a detailed breakdown for each platform:

Google Play Platform #

Google provides the Google Play Developer API which supports full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for in-app products. Here's what you need to get started:

• First, enable the API in your Google Cloud Console and link it to your Google Play Developer account.
• Authenticate requests using a service account with appropriate permissions (like Edit access to your app's in-app products).
• Key endpoints for managing products:
  • POST /applications/{packageName}/inappproducts to create a new in-app product
  • PUT /applications/{packageName}/inappproducts/{sku} to update an existing product
  • DELETE /applications/{packageName}/inappproducts/{sku} to remove a product
• Example curl request for creating a product (replace placeholders with your own details):

  curl -X POST \
    "https://androidpublisher.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v3/applications/com.your.app.package/inappproducts" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
      "sku": "premium_lifetime",
      "status": "ACTIVE",
      "defaultPrice": {
        "priceMicros": "19990000",
        "currency": "USD"
      },
      "listings": {
        "en-US": {
          "title": "Lifetime Premium Access",
          "description": "Unlock all features forever"
        }
      }
    }'
  

Apple App Store Platform #

Apple's App Store Connect API lets you manage all types of in-app purchases (consumable, non-consumable, subscriptions). Key details:

• Generate an API key in App Store Connect and assign it roles like In-App Purchase Manager or Admin to grant necessary permissions.
• Authenticate each request using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) signed with your API key.
• Relevant endpoints:
  • For non-consumable/consumable products: Use endpoints under apps/{id}/inAppPurchases
  • For subscriptions: Use endpoints under apps/{id}/subscriptions
• Important restriction: Apple only allows deleting products that are in the DRAFT state. Active products can be removed from sale but not fully deleted.

Quick Tips #

• Test all API operations in sandbox environments first (Google Play's internal test tracks, Apple's sandbox) before touching production.
• Keep authentication credentials (service account keys, API tokens) secure—never expose them in client-side code.
• Both platforms enforce rate limits, so plan batch operations to avoid hitting those limits.
