Login

There are 2 ways of authenticating: token (default) or credentials.

Token

By default, gplaycli fetches a token from a token dispenser server located at https://matlink.fr/token/ to login in Google Play. If you want to use another token dispenser server, change its URL in the configuration file (depends on the way you installed it).

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.
