Prerequisites

• A Google Play account with Owner permissions on at least one application.

• The Google Cloud Storage bucket ID, where all the Google Play reports are stored.

• The read-only permission on the required reports and GCS buckets. Read Cloud Storage Authentication.

  Note: Reports available in a GCS bucket have the same restrictions and access to data as your Google Play account. Therefore, you must have Owner access to view the reports in your Google Play dashboard and retrieve them from the GCS bucket, in addition to any other permissions that you set up.

• You are assigned the Team Administrator, Team Collaborator, or Pipeline Administrator role in Hevo to create the Pipeline.

Retrieving the Google Cloud Storage Bucket ID

1. Sign in to your Google Play account. You can see all the Google Play applications configured within your account.

2. In the left navigation pane, under Game services, click Download Reports.

   

3. In the right pane, click in the Select an app field and select the relevant application name.

4. Scroll to the end of the page to the Direct Report URIs section and copy the bucket ID. Your bucket ID begins with pubsite_prod_. For example: pubsite_prod_1234567898765432100. Use this ID while configuring your Hevo Pipeline.
