Gumroad Product & Creator Scraper

---

🎯 What this scrapes

Gumroad renders every page — Discover search results, creator storefronts, and individual product pages — through an Inertia.js single-page app: the entire dataset for that page is embedded as one HTML-entity-encoded JSON blob inside a data-page attribute, and each of the three page types exposes a different subset of fields under a different shape. This Actor normalizes all three into one consistent row schema.

Point it at a Discover query with filters (category, tags, filetype, price, rating, sort), a creator's storefront URL, a list of direct product URLs, or any combination of the three — it de-duplicates overlapping products found across modes and stops the instant your result cap is hit.

🔥 Features

• 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotation — curl-cffi impersonates real Chrome / Firefox / Safari TLS handshakes on every run.
• 🔁 Retries with exponential backoff on 429 / 5xx responses — up to 5 attempts, Retry-After honoured.
• 🧩 Three input modes, one schema — Discover search, creator storefront, and direct product URL all normalize to the same ResultRow shape, with cross-mode de-duplication on product ID.
• 🧊 Clean, typed dataset rows — Pydantic-validated fields, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel directly from Apify Console.
• 💰 Pay-Per-Event pricing — you pay only for results that land. No data, no charge beyond the small start fee.

💡 Use cases

• Reseller / dropship research — scan Discover by category, tag, or price band to find products worth reselling or bundling.
• Indie-hacker market research — pull a competitor category's full price and rating spread before shipping a similar product.
• Affiliate offer-hunting — filter Discover by rating and sales signal to shortlist products worth promoting.
• Pricing intelligence — snapshot a creator's or category's price points on a recurring schedule to track how they move.
• Creator monitoring — point Creator URLs at a storefront to track new listings and price changes over time.

3. Optionally narrow Discover results with Min/max price, Min rating, and Sort order.
4. Click Start. Results stream into the run's dataset as they're found.

product-result	$0.0025	Per unique, de-duplicated product row written to the dataset

Example: 1 000 results at the rates above ≈ $2.52. No subscription, no minimum commitment, no card required to start — Apify gives every new account $5 of free credit.

🚧 Limitations

• No purchase/download/license flows — we never touch /purchases/ or any authenticated Gumroad endpoint.
• Creator mode is a storefront snapshot — Gumroad's profile page shows a curated product list, not a verified-exhaustive catalog. Combine with Product URLs for guaranteed coverage of specific listings.
• No seller contact or review-text scraping — existing single-purpose Actors already cover that ground.
• Point-in-time snapshot — this Actor does not track historical price or sales changes across runs.

❓ FAQ

Is this legal?

Yes — we only fetch public, unauthenticated Discover, storefront, and product pages. Gumroad's own robots.txt disallows only /purchases/, and we never touch purchase, download, or license flows.

Does Creator mode return a seller's entire catalog?

It returns the storefront snapshot Gumroad renders on the profile page — a curated, not guaranteed-exhaustive, product list. For an exact catalog, combine it with known Product URLs.

Why are category and tags null on some rows?

Those two fields echo your run's own Discover filters, not something scraped per product — Gumroad's product payload doesn't carry them. Creator- and product-URL-mode rows always get category: null, tags: [].

Can I get sales counts?

Only in product-URL mode, and even then the seller controls whether it's shown — expect null fairly often.

Do I need a Gumroad account or API key?

No — every field comes from Gumroad's own public pages.
