# Gumroad

Access the Gumroad API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage products, view sales, verify licenses, and set up webhooks for your digital storefront.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Get current user info
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/user')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/{resource}
```

The gateway proxies requests to `api.gumroad.com/v2` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Gumroad OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=gumroad&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'gumroad'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "e1a4444f-2bb8-4e09-9265-3afe71b74b1f",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-08T06:22:48.654579Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-08T06:23:07.420381Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "gumroad",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Gumroad connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/products')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'e1a4444f-2bb8-4e09-9265-3afe71b74b1f')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

## Pagination

Gumroad uses page-based pagination for endpoints that return lists:

GET /gumroad/v2/sales?page=1
GET /gumroad/v2/sales?page=2
```

Continue incrementing the page number until you receive an empty list.

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/products',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/products',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()
```

### Python (Verify License)

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/licenses/verify',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    data={
        'product_id': 'your_product_id',
        'license_key': 'CUSTOMER-LICENSE-KEY'
    }
)
result = response.json()
if result['success']:
    print(f"License valid! Uses: {result['uses']}")
else:
    print(f"Invalid: {result['message']}")
```

## Notes

- All responses include a `success` boolean field
- Product creation is not available via API - products must be created through the Gumroad website
- POST/PUT requests use `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` content type (not JSON)
- Prices are in cents (e.g., 500 = $5.00)
- License keys are case-insensitive
- Resource subscription webhooks send POST requests to your specified URL
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Missing Gumroad connection or bad request |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 404 | Resource not found (returned with `success: false`) |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Gumroad API |

Gumroad errors typically return HTTP 404 with a JSON body:
```json
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Error description"
}
```

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `gumroad`. For example:

- Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/user`
- Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/v2/user`
