Substack Scraper: newsletter posts, engagement and full text

Export posts from any Substack newsletter, including those on custom domains such as lennysnewsletter.com or platformer.news.

For every post:

  • Title, subtitle, URL, date, section, tags
  • Authors (name, handle, profile link)
  • Engagement: likes, comments, restacks
  • Word count, paid vs. free, newsletter / podcast / thread type, podcast audio URL and duration
  • Cover image and description
  • Optional full text (plain text and HTML) of free posts, or the public preview of paid ones

Use cases

  • Content & competitor research: see which topics and formats drive the most likes and comments in your niche.
  • Sponsorship & partnership scouting: evaluate newsletters by posting frequency and engagement before buying ads.
  • AI & RAG: build a knowledge base from your favorite newsletters (free posts).
  • Archiving & analytics: track a newsletter's history and growth signals over time.
