How to get list of paid apps by a user from google play?

I recently came across this app - Purchase Apps, which is somehow able to retrieve apps I've paid for in google play after I signed in using my google account.

I'm trying to find out how it is being done as I want to build a similar app, but for the free apps which were downloaded.

However, I cant find which OAuth API Scope was used for retrieving that information. I went through the entire list of APIs here.

Google Sign in asking for access to androidmarket

Please help.


EDIT: I'm putting a new bounty on this question, as suggested by a similar question I've asked about here, and because here and there I don't see a real answer about how to do it, and what can be done with it.

I'd like to refine the questions into multiple pieces:

  1. What is the API that can be used to get information of purchased apps? Where can I read about it? Please show a full, working example of how to do it.

  2. Can it do more ? Maybe perform search? Maybe show free apps that were installed? Maybe the time they were installed and uninstalled? And the categories of those apps?

  3. Are there any special requirements for using this API ?


EDIT: I'm putting a max bounty on this, because no matter how much I've read and tried, I still failed to make a POC that can query the apps from the Play Store that the user has downloaded (name, package name, date installed and/or removed, icon URL, price...) .

Please, if anyone finds a working sample, show how it's done, and also show how you've found about it (documentation or anything that has led you to the solution) . I can't find it anywhere, and the current solutions here are too vague for me to start from.
