I have a game where there are about 68 objectives that all have their own time tracking, with more on the way. Is there a way to create leaderboards on Google Play en masse? Doing them all individually would be incredibly tedious and error prone.
This can be done using the publishing api: see https://developers.google.com/games/services/publishing/quickstart for all the details.

I'm planning on publishing an app on Google Play that uses AdMob and location data to draw pins on an in-app Google Map and need a privacy policy. I'm not sure how to make one so I thought I would use a policy generator for now until I can see if I can afford to have a lawyer write one up.
So the question is what privacy policy generator should I use?
I use this generator it is very good. if you have Facebook login in your app you may need to add a paragraph to enable user to retrieve and/or delete their data from your app, usually I add an email for people who wants to remove their data and that's it.
We've just published our first app in Google Workspace Marketplace (a google docs add-on) and can't figure out how, or if, it is possible to setup an email or other notification (slack notification would be cool) for our Customer Success team to be notified when a user leaves a review of the app.
Appreciate that if we get thousands we will probably turn the notifications off (or filter them in some way), at this early stage though, we're very eager to act on any feedback.
Thanks!

You can try Obsei: an open-source low-code AI powered automation tool.
It can monitor App and Play stores for customer reviews and send notification Slack when someone add review there. Also Obsei can classify review contextually to classify it into issue categories. Refer below image.Obsei workflow
All of these can be achieved free without any cloud hosting requirement. Refer link for more detail.
Happy to answer any queries in this regards.
I have an artist who sells his music via google play.
I want to build software that is able to fetch data that consist of number of plays, by gender, age etc.
Is this possible? Currently I have to manually log into the website in order to retrieve the information and automation would work much better for me.
I would be open to paying a fee as well.
Thanks
Such an API isn't offered right now, and to be honest it seems unlikely one will be given this page says "If you would like to make your music available for purchase/download, we recommend one of these YouTube Preferred Partners ...".
It sounds like you'd have to write some website scraping code. There are lots of questions on stackoverflow about libraries for scraping Beautiful Soup is one that is commonly recommended.
I would like to update "Opening hours" for all stores of a company in Google my business, through an automated API (a REST service for example).
My customer has hundreds of stores, and currently this is done manually.
I've read there is NO automated way to do this, a user needs to fill manually every opening hour in the google my business portal.
I can't believe that, and I'm wondering how big companies with a lot of stores take care of that problem, especially for "exceptional closings", etc.
I have already search for a long, and didn't found anything.
The only ability supplied by google is to upload a list of stores, through a file, and this file doesn't contain any information regarding opening hours (am I wrong ?).
I would like to be able to update store list AND opening hours regularly, through an API (My Business, or Places).
Does google propose a such API, or do you have any suggestion to handle this concern from a programmatical point of view ?
Thank you
There was no Google API for My Business at the time when I posted my question, but meanwhile Google has released it and also provides samples for many languages : https://developers.google.com/my-business/
Thanks to eton_ceb for the notification.
I am researching whether the following is possible and if so how I could go about achieving it.
We collect reviews for businesses from their customers and we’d like to post these reviews to Google places as part of the reviews they have on their.
I was wondering how I would go about getting our website to “push” this data to the Google places website, I’ve done lots of searching on the APIs but have found nothing that says it’s possible or not.
Currently the Google Places API does not have write capability. It only has read capability. Right now only ratings are available, but I suspect reviews might come someday too.
Although you can send check-in signals and fix Places through the API. Hopefully Google will add the ability to send reviews and receive them.
If you're looking to get your content added to Google, you may want to talk to their content partnerships teams http://www.google.com/support/mapcontentpartners/
Since Google's local and maps initiatives are under the same people that would be the place to go.
I too looked into this as it would be of huge value to companies if possible.
My research led me to believe that it is not possible and could possibly violate Google's TOA with negative results for the company's Places page.
Instead, I built a workaround that makes it really easy for companies to collect feedback and get their own customers to submit the reviews: http://dallasmarketingservices.com/survey-local-unveiled-how-online-reviews-affect-your-local-business/
Maybe we will see this in the future though.
