🎯 ClickBank Marketplace Intelligence — Digital Affiliate Products with Hoplinks

🔗 View on Apify Store | 🇺🇸 English | 🇧🇷 Português

Scrape ClickBank's public marketplace (accounts.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm) for digital affiliate products with hoplinks, gravity scores, average $/sale, recurring billing flag, and category. ClickBank specializes in digital products with commission rates of 50-75% — significantly higher than Amazon (3-12%) or Awin (3-15%).

✨ Features

• React SPA-aware — uses PlaywrightCrawler with the search autocomplete (input[data-cy="search-input"] + Enter), not URL params (ClickBank's React app ignores query strings)
• JSON API interception — captures background XHR responses to marketplace/product/search endpoints (stored in KV under debug_api_responses)
• Gravity score extraction — ClickBank's primary recency-of-sales indicator
• Hoplink discovery — extracts https://hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=XXXX&vendor=YYYY URLs ready for affiliate use
• Vendor parsing — pulls vendor codes (e.g. KETOCREAT) from hoplink query strings
• Recurring billing flag — isRecurring=true when product has rebill / subscription
• 22 category filters — Health & Fitness, Self-Help, E-Business, Spirituality, etc.
• 9 sort modes — popularity, gravity, avg $/sale, avg rebill, total earnings, % per sale, % rebill, newest
• Datacenter proxy compatible — validated working from Apify default DC US
• HTML dump in KV store — debug_rendered_html saved on every run for fast troubleshooting
• NEVER 0 ITEMS guard — fails loudly with 3-cause diagnostic and pointer to the debug HTML

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event (product-scraped): charged once per product successfully extracted. CAPTCHA / 0-item runs do not charge (NEVER 0 ITEMS guard).

🚀 Use cases

• High-commission affiliate discovery — ClickBank digital products pay 50-75% commission vs Amazon's 3-12%
• Gravity-driven product picking — sort by gravity to find products with recent affiliate sales (last 8 weeks)
• Niche scout — filter by category (Health, Self-Help, E-Business) and surface the top 50 products in each
• Recurring revenue scouting — filter isRecurring=true to find subscription products with rebill commission
• Refund-rate sanity check — exclude products with refund rate >15% (red flag for shady offers)
• Hoplink batch import — feed hoplink field directly into your affiliate dashboard or link cloaker

⚠️ Common errors

Error	Cause	Fix
[FAIL] Zero products extracted	ClickBank selectors changed (React class names rotate occasionally)	Inspect debug_rendered_html in KV store; report selector breakage
⚠️ Timeout waiting for #root-marketplace	Marketplace JS bundle slow OR CDN issue	Retry; consider RESIDENTIAL US proxy
⚠️ Failed to type keyword	ClickBank search input redesigned	Update selector candidates list in code
Stale gravity values	ClickBank caches gravity for 8 weeks	This is expected — gravity is a recency-of-sales rolling metric, not real-time

🔒 Privacy

🆕 Changelog

• v1.0 (2026-05-13): Initial release. CheerioCrawler attempt — deprecated.

• Interceptação de JSON API — captura respostas XHR de fundo em debug_api_responses no KV store
• Extração do score Gravity — indicador-primário de vendas recentes da ClickBank
• Descoberta de hoplinks — URLs https://hop.clickbank.net/?affiliate=X&vendor=Y prontas
• Parser de vendor — extrai códigos (ex: KETOCREAT)
• Flag de recorrência — isRecurring=true quando há rebill/subscription
• 22 categorias — Saúde, Self-Help, E-Business, Espiritualidade etc.
• 9 modos de ordenação — popularity / gravity / avg $/sale / etc.

💰 Cobrança

Pay-per-event product-scraped: cobrado por produto extraído. Run com 0 itens não cobra.

🚀 Casos de uso

• Afiliados com alta comissão (50-75% vs Amazon 3-12%)
• Picking de produtos por gravity (vendas recentes 8 semanas)
• Scout de nicho por categoria
• Identificar produtos com recorrência (subscription/rebill)
• Filtro de qualidade por refund rate < 15%
• Importação em lote de hoplinks

⚠️ Erros comuns

• [FAIL] Zero products extracted: selectors mudaram — inspecionar debug_rendered_html no KV store
• ⚠️ Timeout waiting for #root-marketplace: bundle JS lento; tentar RESIDENTIAL US
• Gravity "velho": é normal — é métrica rolling de 8 semanas, não tempo-real
