Gumroad Best Sellers Scraper — Niche Spy, Trends & Price Intel

Find out what actually sells on Gumroad before you create, launch or promote a digital product. This Actor scrapes Gumroad search results, best-seller rankings and trending "hot & new" products — with prices, ratings, sellers, recurring-billing flags and rank — and adds a free niche market-stats row per query (market size, top tags, median price, % recurring).

$1.60 per 1,000 product results + $0.001 per start. MARKET_STATS rows, cross-page duplicates and monitor-mode repeats are never charged.

Who is this for?

• Creators validating a niche before building: how crowded is "notion template"? What's the median price? Do best sellers use recurring billing?
• Affiliate marketers hunting products worth promoting — sort by best sellers or most reviewed, filter by price and rating.
• Trend scouts & newsletter writers watching hot_and_new for rising products (run on a schedule with monitor mode, pay only for new finds).
• AI agents & analysts who need structured Gumroad market data instead of screenshots.

Input

{
  "queries": ["notion template", "lightroom presets"],
  "sort": "best_sellers",
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 45,
  "minPrice": 5,
  "minRating": 4,
  "onlyNew": false
}

• sort: hot_and_new (trending), best_sellers, newest, highest_rated, most_reviewed
• taxonomy: browse a category instead of (or with) keywords — e.g. design, 3d, education
• onlyNew: monitor mode — remembers seen product IDs between runs; repeats are free

Run it on a schedule

The highest-value setup: daily hot_and_new monitor.

1. Set queries to your niches, sort to hot_and_new, onlyNew to true.
2. Create a Schedule in Apify Console (e.g. every morning).
3. Each run emits only products you haven't seen — trending finds land in your dataset for pennies.

AI agents & MCP

This Actor is AI-agent friendly: call it via the Apify MCP server and ask your agent things like "what's the median price and top tags for 'ai prompts' on Gumroad?" The free MARKET_STATS row answers niche questions in one call; the output schema exposes the dataset URL for direct consumption.

Honest data policy

• 100% public data from Gumroad's own search — no login, no private endpoints.
• Fields Gumroad doesn't expose (e.g. exact sales counts) are not faked; rating counts are your social-proof proxy.
• Cross-page duplicates from ranking jitter are deduplicated and never charged.

Changelog

• 0.1.4 (24 Sep 2026) — Reliability: A run that gets close to its timeout now stops early and finishes normally, keeping every product already collected, and the run's status line shows how many rows it delivered. No price or field change.
• 0.1.3 (22 Sep 2026) — Clean description text. Gumroad's search API returns descriptions HTML-escaped (Content & Brand, '), which showed up verbatim in the Output tab; entities are now decoded. Note: recurrence / durationInMonths are only filled for subscription products (isRecurring: true) and taxonomy echoes your input — both are empty by design on a plain keyword search.
• 0.1.2 (19 Sep 2026) — Typo guard on input. Apify accepts input fields an Actor does not know without complaining, so a misspelled option used to produce a successful run with that setting silently inactive. The run log now warns for every unknown field and suggests the closest real one.
• 0.1.1 (19 Sep 2026) — Fix onlyNew memory across runs. The seen/previous-run memory was stored in the run's default key-value store, which is per-run on the Apify platform, so onlyNew silently returned the full result on every run. It now lives in a named store in your account, so scheduled runs return only what changed. No field, default or price changed.
• 0.0.8 (11 Sep 2026) — minRating accepts decimals (4.5); it was integer-only.
• 0.0.1 (30 Aug 2026) — Launch.
