How do i get my app publishing status via API

Every time you publish even a tiniest update to your app to google play, you have to wait for a review process before an update will be published. This review process can take up to a few days at worst (because poor google is struggling with COVID, boo-hoo).

Anyway, is there a way to know precisely when it is reviewed and published via some API? I know they have e-mail notifications, but i need to make this process more automated. I don't mind sending a request every few minutes to get the status of my app. So far I have researched google play console API, but I couldn't find any methods to get an app status.

Most likely, google (being stupid as usual), didn't provide any way to do this properly. Maybe I can do this via directly parsing a google play console HTML page? Of course if it isn't against google's ToS. Thanks.

There's no such API to get the status of published or pending on the console, the only option is to open your google console where you'll see the notification about what's the status of your app.

And for parsing the Console Html page, I don't think so Google will allow you to do that. You can give it a try.

Log in to your Google Play console, in All Apps chose a specific app you want to check. In the dashboard tab exactly below your apps logo, you will see Production status. Production status is INACTIVE if the app is not reviewed by Google and ACTIVE when the app is reviewed. In the near app logo, you also have the view On Google Play link so you can click on it to see if your app published in Google Play or not.

For automation maybe you can write some code and use View On Google Play link and depend on link results to get active or inactive return info. For example, if the app is not in the store link return:
