## What it is
GPlayCli is a Python command-line tool to search, download, and update Android APKs from the Google Play Store. It supports authentication via token dispenser servers or Google credentials and can batch-download or update APK folders.

## Use cases
- download apk from google play via command line
- search google play store from terminal
- bulk download android apps by package id
- update all apks in a folder
- script apk downloads without a phone

## When to choose
- you need to fetch APKs programmatically or from a headless server
- you want to batch-download or keep a folder of APKs up to date
- you prefer a CLI over the Play Store app

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was 2021 and Play Store API changes frequently break it
- you want a GUI app store experience
- you need to install apps directly to a device
