💡 Tips for best results

• Use specific keywords — notion productivity template returns more relevant results than just template
• Combine search + profile scraping — search for a niche, then deep-dive on top sellers
• Disable detail fetch for bulk — scraping 1,000 products is 2x faster without detail pages
• Use discover URLs for categories — go to Gumroad, filter by category/tag, then copy the URL and paste it as a start URL
• Set maxResults = 0 carefully — popular queries can have 10,000+ products

⚖️ Is scraping Gumroad legal?

This actor only collects publicly available data — the same information visible to any visitor without logging in. No authentication, private data, or paywalled content is accessed.

Web scraping of public data is protected under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and affirmed by multiple court rulings (hiQ v. LinkedIn, 2022). Always use scraped data responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

---

❓ FAQ

Does the actor require a Gumroad account or API key? No — it accesses only public pages, just like a normal browser visit. No login required.

Does it need a proxy? No. Gumroad returns standard HTTP 200 responses without bot-blocking. This makes runs fast and cheap.

Can I scrape all products from a specific seller? Yes — paste the seller's Gumroad profile URL (e.g. https://johndoe.gumroad.com) as a start URL and set maxResults to 0 for unlimited.

Why is salesCount null for some products? Gumroad does not expose exact sales counts publicly in most cases. The field is null when Gumroad hides this data.

The actor returned fewer results than expected — why? Gumroad's search may return fewer results than the total count suggests if some products are unpublished, region-restricted, or removed mid-scrape. This is a Gumroad-side limitation.

I'm getting empty results for a query — what should I try? Try a simpler query (fewer words), check the spelling, or try the URL of a Gumroad Discover search with your filters applied.
