To download directly from the Google Play Store, first you'll have to obtain an OAuth token by visiting the Google embedded setup page and:

  • Opening the browser debugging console on Network tab
  • Logging in
  • If the "Google Terms of Services" pop up, click I agree (it can hang up on this step but it's not important)
  • Select the last request from accounts.google.com in the Network tab
  • Select the Cookies tab of this request
  • One of the response cookie is oauth_token
  • Copy the value field (it must start with oauth2_4/)

It can only be used once, in order to obtain the AAS token which can be used subsequently. To obtain this token:

apkeep -e 'someone@gmail.com' --oauth-token 'oauth2_4/...'

An AAS token should be printed. You can use this to download an app:

apkeep -a com.instagram.android -d google-play -e 'someone@gmail.com' -t some_aas_token .

This will use a default device configuration of px_7a, a timezone of UTC, and a locale of en_US. To specify a different device profile, use the -o option:

apkeep -a com.instagram.android -d google-play -o device=ad_g3_pro -e 'someone@gmail.com' -t some_aas_token .

Available devices are specified here.

Likewise, a separate timezone or locale can also be specified:

apkeep -a com.instagram.android -d google-play -o device=ad_g3_pro,locale=es_MX -e 'someone@gmail.com' -t some_aas_token .

This option attempts to download a split APK if available, and falls back to the full APK:

apkeep -a hk.easyvan.app.client -d google-play -o split_apk=true -e 'someone@gmail.com' -t some_aas_token .

A full list of options:

  • device: specify a device profile as described above
  • locale: specify a locale
  • split_apk: when set to 1 or true, attempts to download a split APK
  • include_additional_files: when set to 1 or true, attempts to download any additional obb expansion files for the app

If you prefer not to provide your credentials on the command line, you can specify them in a config file named apkeep.ini. This config file may have to be created, and must be located in the user config directory under the subpath apkeep. Usually on Linux systems this will be ~/.config/apkeep/apkeep.ini. In this file specify your email and/or AAS token:

[google]
email = someone@gmail.com
aas_token = some_aas_token

Optionally, the path to this ini file can be specified:

apkeep -a com.instagram.android -d google-play -i ~/path/to/some.ini .
