## Pricing

from $3.50 / 1,000 product results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Gumroad Discover, storefronts & products | Fonts, templates, shops & license tiers | Handmade / POD search, shops, reviews | Game assets, prices, publishers |

### When to use this Actor

- **Gumroad Discover scraper** — keyword, tag, or category listings with price, rating, and seller
- **Gumroad product scraper** — paste `/l/permalink` URLs for sales count, variants, description, and rating histogram
- **Creator storefront scraper** — every public product on a Gumroad profile (subdomain or custom domain)
- **Niche & affiliate research** — Notion templates, presets, courses, memberships, 3D assets
- **Gumroad API alternative** — public-page dataset when you need structured rows, not a seller OAuth key
- **Change monitor** — scheduled runs that emit only new or changed products (price, ratings, sales)

### When not to use this Actor

- **Private purchases, payouts, or customer emails** — public pages only; no login
- **Seller-owned Gumroad API** (your own products/subscribers) — use Gumroad’s official OAuth API instead
- **Written review text / seller replies** — v1 exports rating averages, counts, and (in details mode) the star histogram. Review bodies are not public without a session
- **Creative Market fonts/templates, Etsy handmade catalogs, or Unity packages** — use the sibling scrapers linked above
- **Unlimited uncapped crawls** — set `maxItems` / `maxPages` to control spend

### Key features

- **All-in-one Gumroad data** — Discover search, tags, categories, storefronts, and product URLs in one Actor
- **HTTP-first** — Inertia `data-page` JSON on Discover/storefronts + public `{product}.json` details. No headless browser
- **Sales counts & variants** — optional details pass adds `salesCount`, options/tiers, covers, attributes, refund policy
- **Typed dataset rows** — `recordType`: `product` with seller, price, ratings, and source
- **Filters** — price, rating, file type, native type (digital, course, membership, …), free/PWYW, verified sellers
- **Monitor mode** — remember products between runs; emit only `new` or `changed`
- **Caps that save budget** — `maxItems`, `maxPages` (36 products per Discover page)
- **Proxy optional** — public catalog usually works without Apify Proxy

#### Input example — Discover search

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["notion template"],
  "sort": "best_sellers",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "scrapeDetails": false
}
```

#### Input example — product URLs + details

```json
{
  "productUrls": [
    "https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com/l/macwhisper"
  ],
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

#### Input example — creator storefront

```json
{
  "sellerUrls": [
    "https://goodsnooze.gumroad.com"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Output Format

| Field | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `recordType` | `product` |
| `id` / `permalink` | Gumroad product id and URL slug |
| `name` / `url` | Title and canonical product URL |
| `nativeType` | `digital`, `course`, `membership`, … |
| `price` / `priceCents` / `currencyCode` / `priceFormatted` | Listed price |
| `isPayWhatYouWant` | Buyer-set price |
| `ratingsAverage` / `ratingsCount` / `ratingsPercentages` | Stars (histogram needs details) |

- Track competitor prices, ratings, and public sales counts on a schedule
- Build an affiliate shortlist from Discover best sellers in a category
- Export a creator’s full public catalog from their Gumroad storefront
- Feed MCP / AI assistants a structured Gumroad dataset instead of HTML

### Integration examples

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });

const run = await client.actor('crawloop/gumroad-scraper').call({
  searchQueries: ['notion template'],
  maxItems: 50,
  scrapeDetails: false,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));
```

#### Python

```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("crawloop/gumroad-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "searchQueries": ["notion template"],
        "maxItems": 50,
        "scrapeDetails": False,
    }
)
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
print(items[:5])
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~gumroad-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries":["notion template"],"maxItems":20}'
```

### MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via [Apify MCP](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp).
Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store ID `crawloop/gumroad-scraper`.

Example prompts:

- "Run Gumroad Scraper for search query notion template, max 30 products, and return name, price, rating, and URL as JSON"
- "Scrape the Gumroad storefront for a creator URL and list every public product with price and ratings"
- "Chain Gumroad Scraper then [Creative Market Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/creative-market-scraper) to compare digital products vs design-asset listings in the same niche"

### Suite next step

After a Gumroad catalog dump, run [Creative Market Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/creative-market-scraper) for fonts, templates, and license-price comps, or [Etsy Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/etsy-scraper) for handmade / POD. Game assets: [Unity Asset Store Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/unity-asset-store-scraper).

### FAQ

**Does this use the official Gumroad API?**
No. The seller API is for your own products. This Actor reads the same public Discover, storefront, and product JSON any visitor gets in the browser.

**Why is sales count empty?**
Discover cards omit sales. Enable `scrapeDetails` or pass `productUrls`.

**Can I scrape custom-domain Gumroad shops?**
Yes — paste the shop URL in `sellerUrls` or `startUrls`. The Actor detects the Inertia `Users/Show` storefront payload.

**Do I need a proxy?**
Usually not. Turn on Apify Proxy only if Discover starts returning 403/429.

**Are written reviews included?**
Not in v1. You get rating average, count, and (with details) the star histogram.
