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

# Get current user info
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/{resource}

Maton 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:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

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

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'gumroad'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/products')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to products, sales, subscribers, licenses, and webhooks for your digital storefront within the connected Gumroad account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

Code Examples

JavaScript

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

Python

import os
import requests

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

Python (Verify License)

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.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

Gumroad errors typically return HTTP 404 with a JSON body:

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Error description"
}

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.maton.ai/gumroad/v2/user
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v2/user
