Date filters, keyword publication search. Fast HTTP-only, $0.002 per post. Never bypasses paywalls.
Publications to scrape. Accepts a subdomain (lenny), a substack.com URL (https://lenny.substack.com) or a custom domain (https://www.astralcodexten.com).
Optional list of specific post URLs (https://<publication>/p/<slug>).
Optional. Find publications by keyword using Substack's public web search. Each found publication is returned as a publication record.

If enabled, posts of every publication found by search are scraped too (subject to the post limits below).

Only posts published on/after this date. YYYY-MM-DD or relative, e.g. 30 days, 6 months.
Only posts published on/before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
Adds the full post body for posts whose audience is everyone. Paywalled posts never include the body — only metadata and Substack's public teaser text.
Format of the free-post body.
Adds publication name, description, author, logo, language, custom domain etc. to each post record.
Keep low to stay polite to Substack (it rate-limits aggressive clients).
