Extract the full post archive of any Substack publication, including authors, publish dates, engagement and paywall status.
What you can do with it
- Content research - see what a publication covers and how often.
- Competitor monitoring - track a rival newsletter's output and topics.
- Newsletter discovery - build a dataset of publications in a niche.
- Engagement analysis - compare comment counts across posts and topics.
- Feed an AI agent or RAG pipeline - clean post metadata and descriptions.
Input
Every field is optional. Run it with no configuration and it returns useful data straight away.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
publications | array | Substack URLs, e.g. https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com. Leave empty to use a default sample. |
maxItems | integer | How many posts to return across all publications. Default 200. |
postedWithinDays | integer | Only posts published in the last N days. |
Output
Flat JSON records, exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. Fields the source does
not publish come back as null rather than being omitted, so your schema stays
stable between runs.
Pricing
Pay per result. You are charged only for records actually delivered - a run that matches nothing costs nothing.
Keeping it fresh
Use Apify Schedules to run this on a timer and your dataset stays current without you touching it. Add a webhook to push new records straight into your database, Google Sheet or Slack channel.
Reliability
This reads the source's own public API - no logins, no bot circumvention. That is a deliberate choice: actors that depend on defeating bot protection break without warning. This one does not.
