How to verify publish status via Google developer API?

Question

I'm simply looking to verify the status of my app publish request through the Google developer API, which you can easily see from the Google Play Console: Published Apps Request List

My problem is a 'fire and forget' approach that Google AndroidPublisher API has provided me with, were you build your Edit - you upload your APK, modify your store listing etc etc... then you just commit.

Commit function: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/api-ref/edits/commit

What I have implemented:

AndroidPublisher.java

// code removed for brevity
...
...


edit.validate();

edit.commit();

AndroidAppEdit.java

public void validate() throws ProcessingFailedException {
    try {
        service.edits()
                .validate(packageName, editId)
                .execute();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new ProcessingFailedException("Failed to validate the edit", e);
    }
}

public void commit() throws ProcessingFailedException {
    try {
        service.edits()
                .commit(packageName, editId)
                .execute();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        throw new ProcessingFailedException("Failed to commit the edit", e);
    }
}

What I'm looking to achieve?

The ability to poll an endpoint via REST or through a client library like AndroidPublisher to retrieve the state / status of my commit
