DESCRIPTION

Apple::AppStoreConnect provides basic access to the Apple App Store Connect API.

Pease see the official API documentation for usage and all possible requests.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

  my $asc = Apple::AppStoreConnect->new(
      key_id     => $key_id,
      key        => $private_key?,
      key_file   => $private_key_pem?,
      issuer     => "57246542-96fe-1a63-e053-0824d011072a",
      scope      => \@scope?,
      timeout    => $timeout_sec?,
      expiration => $expire_secs?,
      ua         => $lwp_ua?,
      curl       => $use_curl?
  );

Required parameters:

  • key_file : The encrypted App Store Connect API private key file that you create under Users and Access -> Keys on the App Store Connect portal. On the portal you download a PKCS8 format file (.p8), which you first need to convert to the PEM format. On a Mac you can convert it simply:

    openssl pkcs8 -nocrypt -in AuthKey_<key_id>.p8 -out AuthKey_<key_id>.pem
  • key : Instead of the .pem file, you can pass its contents directly as a string.

  • key_id : The ID of the App Store Connect ApI key created on the App Store Connect portal (Users and Access section).

  • issuer : Your API Key issuer ID. Can be found at the top of the API keys on the App Store Connect Portal (Users and Access section).

Optional parameters:

  • scope : An arrayref that defines the token scope. Example entry: ["GET /v1/apps?filter[platform]=IOS"].

  • timeout : Timeout for requests in secs. Default: 30.

  • ua : Pass your own LWP::UserAgent to customise the agent string etc.

  • curl : If true, fall back to using the curl command line program. This is useful if you have issues adding https support to LWP::UserAgent, which is the default method for the API requests.

  • expiration : Token expiration time in seconds. Tokens are cached until there are less than 10 minutes left to expiration. Default: 900 - the API will not accept more than 20 miuntes expiration time for most requests.

METHODS

get

my $res = $asc->get(
    url    => $url,
    raw    => $raw?,
    params => \%query_params?
);

Fetchest the requested API url, by default, it will use JSON to decode it directly to a Perl hash, unless you request raw result as a string.

Requires LWP::UserAgent, unless the curl option was set.

If the request is not successful, it will die throwing the HTTP::Response->status_line.

  • url : A URL to an API endpoint. Can pass the full URL, e.g. url => 'https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps', or you can ommit the part up to v1/ (i.e. url => 'apps').

  • params : Any other query params that you need to pass (see API documentation).

get_response

my $res = $asc->get_response(
    url    => $url,
    raw    => $raw?,
    params => \%query_params?
);

Same as get except it returns the full HTTP::Response from the API (so you can handle bad requests yourself).

CONVENIENCE METHODS

jwt

my $jwt = $asc->jwt(
    iat => $iat?,
    exp => $exp?
);

Returns the JSON Web Token string in case you need it. Will return a cached one if it has more than 5 minutes until expiration and you don't explicitly pass an exp argument.

  • iat : Specify the token creation timestamp. Default is time().

  • exp : Specify the token expiration timestamp. Passing this parameter will force the creation of a new token. Default is time()+900 (or what you specified in the constructor).

get_apps

my $res = $asc->get_apps(
    id     => $app_id?,
    path   => $path?,
    params => \%query_params?
);

Without argumets it is similar to get(url="apps">, fetching the list of apps, but does some extra processing to return a Perl hash with app IDs as keys and the app attributes as values.

There are optional arguments to get details of a specific app or app resource:

  • id : The app ID. Specifying just the id will return the details for a single app.

  • path : Requires id and is equivalent to get(url="apps/$app_id/$path")>, returning a specific resource type for an app, except it does the convenience processing where a hash with the ids of this resource as keys are returned and the attributes as values (unless the specific resource does not follow that pattern). See API documentation for path support (e.g. builds, appAvailability, appPriceSchedule, customerReviews etc.).

  • params : Any other query params that you need to pass (see API documentation).
