Build a Mobile App Revenue Dashboard with Claude Code — Integrating AdMob, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console APIs with Automated Daily Reports

A production-ready guide to unifying AdMob, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console revenue data into a single dashboard, with automated daily Slack reports. The definitive revenue visibility setup for indie mobile developers.

If you've ever shipped a couple of iOS and Android apps, you know this moment well: it's the end of the month, you want to know how much you made, and suddenly you're bouncing between three different admin panels — AdMob, App Store Connect, and Google Play Console — copying numbers into a spreadsheet by hand.

I lived that life for longer than I care to admit. Finding out "how much did I earn this month" took thirty minutes of clicking. This article is the distilled knowledge from the week I spent with Claude Code rebuilding all of that into one dashboard, running on free-tier infrastructure.

This is not "read the docs and you'll figure it out" content. Each of the three platforms has its own auth style, response format, and rate-limit quirks, and the docs alone won't save you from the sharp edges. I'll share the specific places I got stuck, the code that unblocked me, and the questions I asked Claude Code when I was spinning.

What the Dashboard Needs to Solve

Before we write any code, let's pin down what we're actually building. Vague goals always balloon into feature creep.

  • See daily revenue, downloads, and ARPU across all three platforms on one screen.
  • Plot a 30-day trend to spot anomalies.
  • Compare the launch velocity of a newly released app against older apps.
  • Get a yesterday summary posted to Slack every morning automatically.
  • Stay inside the Cloudflare Workers free tier (100k requests/day) so we're not paying for infrastructure to track indie revenue.

That last constraint is more important than it sounds. Paying a few thousand yen per month for an indie revenue dashboard defeats the purpose. We design around the free tier from day one.

Why Pairing with Claude Code Speeds This Up

Here's the honest answer: the three APIs are harder than the docs suggest, and Claude Code compresses the research time.

App Store Connect's Sales Reports API returns gzip-compressed TSV files, not JSON. Google Play's Reporting API uses service-account OAuth2, and data only finalizes the business day after month-end. AdMob's Network Report API is flexible but requires specific filter syntax to split by app.

Claude Code's strength is that once you teach it these quirks, they stick within the project. Drop "App Store Connect API returns gzip-compressed TSV" into CLAUDE.md, and every subsequent file it generates respects that assumption. You stop rewriting parsers. That's a bigger productivity win than it first seems.
