Substack Newsletter and Articles Extractor

Extract Substack newsletter posts as clean Markdown. Strips subscribe widgets, share dialogs, like buttons, and footer noise — leaving only the post content.

Features

• Clean extraction — removes subscribe CTAs, share dialogs, like buttons, and footer widgets
• Works with any Substack — supports custom domains and standard substack.com URLs
• Pure content — focused on the newsletter text, no distractions
• Batch processing — extract multiple posts in a single run
• AI-ready output — structured Markdown for LLMs, RAG, and analysis

How It Works

1. Provide Substack post URLs as input.
2. The Actor fetches each post, stripping all newsletter UI elements.
3. Clean post content is converted to Markdown.
4. Results are stored in the Apify dataset.
