Substack Scraper: Posts, Full Text, Likes and Comments Count
Export posts from any Substack newsletter to CSV, Excel or JSON. Works with name.substack.com and with custom domains. No login needed.
What you get for each post

- Authors, post type (newsletter, podcast, thread) and paid or free
- Engagement: likes, comment count and restacks
- Word count, cover image and description
- Full text of free posts as plain text and HTML (paid posts give the free preview)
Why this actor
- Several newsletters in one run, mixed subdomains and custom domains
- Newest or top posts first
- Turn off full text for a fast, light metadata export
- No browser: quick and cheap
