Just noticed it, but it turns out there is a way to bulk import
products using CSV files. I don't think this was available
from the beginning, so it must be new(?). Anyway, give it
a try:

[android-developers] In-app purchasing server side API?

2011-12-01 Thread Tristan Waddington
Hey All,

We're developing a bookshelf and comic-reader application that,
ideally, will offer digital comics for purchase in-app. We already
have a similar iOS application and a webstore. After reading over the
Android Market in-app purchasing documentation, there does not seem to
be any way to manage your in-app product list via an API.

We have over one thousand products to manage and this list grows
weekly. Our team is small and dedicating resources to keep a product
list of this size updated on a regular basis is extremely difficult
and error prone. This process would be made much easier if our
webserver could POST a signed list of products to an Android Market
API endpoint and update our in-app product list as a daily batch job.
Additionally, an API endpoint that would return a list of products
would be ideal as well.

Are there any plans to implement such an API?

Barring that, some sort of scheduled price changes for in-app products
would be a huge help, as we run weekly sales.

Thank you!

This is not the place to ask. Check the 'Help' link in the
developer console for ways to (try to) contact Market support.

You can suggest the features you want, but don't hold your breath
or expect any feedback:
