Gumroad Product & Creator Scraper

Scrape Gumroad Discover, creator storefronts, and product pages into one typed schema — pricing, ratings, seller signals — no Gumroad account or API.

Free Apify credit covers a first run. No credit card to try.

What this Actor 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.

What we handle for you

  • 🛡️ Browser fingerprint rotationcurl-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.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

FieldTypeRequiredWhat it does
searchQuery string no Free-text query for Gumroad's Discover search (gumroad.com/discover?query=...). One of Search query / Category / Tags / Filetypes / Creator URLs / Product URLs must be set.
category string no Gumroad taxonomy slug to filter Discover search (Discover mode only).
tags array no Gumroad tag slugs to filter Discover search (Discover mode only).
filetypes array no File extensions to filter Discover search, e.g. pdf, zip (Discover mode only).
minPrice number no Minimum price in whole currency units (Discover mode only). Free items pass regardless of this filter.
maxPrice number no Maximum price in whole currency units (Discover mode only).
minRating number no Minimum average product rating, 1–5 (Discover mode only).
sortBy string no Sort order for Discover search results (Discover mode only). Omit for Gumroad's default relevance ordering.
creatorUrls array no Gumroad creator storefronts to scrape — a bare username (somecreator) or full URL (https://somecreator.gumroad.com/). Every product listed on the storefront snapshot is emitted.
productUrls array no Direct Gumroad product URLs, e.g. https://somecreator.gumroad.com/l/permalink. Emits the full product-detail field set (description, sales count).
maxResults integer no Cap on total emitted, de-duplicated rows across all combined input modes.

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.
