Google Play Install Referrer
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
You can use the Google Play Store's Install Referrer API to securely retrieve referral content
from Google Play, such as:
- The referrer URL of the installed package.
- The timestamp, in seconds, of when a referrer click happened (both client- and server-side).
- The timestamp, in seconds, of when an installation began (both client- and server-side).
- The app's version at the time when the app was first installed.
- Whether the user has interacted with your app's
instant experience in the
past 7 days.
Requirements
The Install Referrer API is exposed by the Google Play Store app on a device. Devices with a
Google Play app version of 8.3.73 or later automatically have access to the API.
You must also have a Google Play Console account to use the Install Referrer API.
Using the API
The Install Referrer API is implemented as an
Android Interface Definition Language (AIDL) interface.
