About
Gumroad is a platform for selling digital products, and its free API lets developers verify software license keys, fetch product and sale data, and manage resources programmatically. Any free Gumroad account can generate an API token from Settings, Advanced, and there is no monthly cost to use the API. The license verification endpoint is the most popular, letting desktop and web apps check that a customer's key is valid. Gumroad takes a transaction fee on sales, but the API itself is free.
