## 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`).

# README

## Gumroad & Payhip Digital Product Creator Scraper

Scrape creator storefront profiles from [Gumroad](https://gumroad.com) and [Payhip](https://payhip.com), two of the largest independent digital-product platforms. Returns creator name, bio, avatar, social links, and a full product-and-price list for every storefront — across the whole reachable creator base on each platform, not one search term or category page.

***

### Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper Features

- Extracts creator name, bio, avatar, and social links (Twitter, YouTube, Discord) wherever the creator has listed them.
- Returns every product on a storefront with its price, one line per product — not just a count.
- Covers Gumroad and Payhip in a single actor. Pick a platform per run with one input field.
- Walks the full creator base on each platform, not a single category or search term.
- No account, login, or API key needed for either platform.

***

### Who Uses Gumroad and Payhip Creator Data?

- **Creator-tool SaaS teams** — build a prospect list of active sellers to pitch a plugin, analytics dashboard, or automation.
- **AI asset marketplaces** — find creators already selling templates, presets, or digital assets worth courting for cross-listing.
- **Agencies and consultants** — spot creators running several products with no obvious website, usually a sign they need marketing help.
- **Market researchers** — track seller and pricing trends across two of the biggest platforms outside Etsy and Shopify.

***

### How Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper Works

1. Pick a platform — `gumroad` or `payhip` — and a `maxItems` cap.
2. The actor discovers active creator storefronts across the platform you picked.
3. Each storefront is visited once for its full profile: name, bio, avatar, social links, and every listed product with its price.
4. Records save as they're found, so a capped run still returns real data fast; an uncapped run keeps going until it's covered the platform.

***

### Input

```json
{
    "platform": "gumroad",
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

| Field      | Type    | Default   | Description |
|------------|---------|-----------|--------------|
| `platform` | String  | `gumroad` | Which platform to scrape: `gumroad` or `payhip`. |
| `maxItems` | Integer | `10`      | Maximum number of creator profiles to return. Leave high (or omit a cap by setting a large value) for full platform coverage. |

Payhip example:

```json
{
    "platform": "payhip",
    "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Resuming a large crawl

Every run emits a `resumeCursor` in its Output. If a large crawl stops before it finishes — because it hit `maxItems`, your spend cap (`maxTotalChargeUsd`), or was aborted — start a new run with **the same input** plus that `resumeCursor` to continue from where it left off. The crawl resumes from the queued work the previous run didn't reach.

- You are **not re-charged** for records the earlier run already delivered.
- Resume within your account's run-retention window — on the free tier, roughly your 10 most recent runs. Once the source run is pruned, its `resumeCursor` is no longer valid.
- `resumeCursor` is opaque — supply it unmodified.

### FAQ

#### How do I scrape Gumroad creator profiles?

Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper needs no account and no API key. Set `platform` to `gumroad`, pick a `maxItems` cap, and run — it returns creator name, bio, avatar, social links, and every product on the storefront.

#### How much does this actor cost to run?

Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper charges per record returned, plus a small per-run start fee — check the current rate on the Pricing tab. There's no separate charge for platform choice; Gumroad and Payhip cost the same per creator.

#### What data can I get from Payhip stores?

Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper returns the same shape for Payhip as for Gumroad: creator name, bio, avatar, social links, and a full list of products with prices. Payhip stores sometimes run on a creator's own custom domain rather than a `payhip.com` subdomain — the actor follows either.

#### Can I scrape both Gumroad and Payhip in one run?

Not in a single run — `platform` picks one platform per run. Run the actor twice, once per platform, if you need both.

#### Do I need an account or API key for Gumroad or Payhip?

No. Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper reads public storefront pages only. You don't need a Gumroad or Payhip account, and neither platform requires one to browse creator profiles.

### Why Use Gumroad & Payhip Creator Scraper?

- **Two platforms, one actor** — Gumroad and Payhip cover different corners of the indie-creator market; most alternatives only handle one.
- **Full product detail, not just a headcount** — every storefront's products come back with prices attached, so you can judge activity level at a glance instead of guessing from a follower count.
- **Whole-platform coverage** — the actor walks the reachable creator base on each platform rather than a single category page, so a broad prospect list is one run away.

# Actor input Schema

## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`):

What will this data feed? E.g. lead lists, KYB checks, price tracking.

## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`):

Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

## `sp_contact` (type: `string`):

We'll personally help with your use case. No spam.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `platform` (type: `string`):

Which digital-product platform to scrape creators from.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of creator profiles to scrape.

## Actor input object example

  "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...",
  "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...",
