Earnings stats, chart and recent transactions
The same revenue the creator sees on their own dashboard: drop sales + tips + subscription payments, refunds and chargebacks excluded, bucketed by day in the caller's timezone.
/api/external/earningsThe same revenue the creator sees on their own dashboard: drop sales + tips + subscription payments, refunds and chargebacks excluded, bucketed by day in the caller's timezone.
Everything here is in cents (the balance endpoint is dollars). stats.totalEarningsCents is NET (after the platform fee); grossEarningsCents and the chart series are seller GROSS (buyer-paid minus tax, before the fee) so per-day merges against your own gross ledgers compare like for like. Pass tz = the creator's timezone (read it from GET /api/external/timezone) or your day buckets won't match their dashboard.
transactions is always the newest 50 across all three sources — there is no pagination. To get a complete ledger, narrow the date window until fewer than 50 come back.

Rate limiting
Every response carries the X-RateLimit-Tier header and, on limited tiers, the per-minute and per-day trios — read X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset instead of hardcoding limits. Details in Rate limits.

Chart bucketing: day for spans ≤31 days, week ≤90, month beyond. transactions[].productId only exists on type "drop" — use it to join a sale back to the drop your app created. Because refunds are excluded here but NOT in check-status, the two can legitimately disagree.
