Substack Posts Scraper
Pricing
from $5.00 / 1,000 post scrapeds
Scrape Substack newsletter posts from any publication on a subdomain or custom domain. Returns full post text, engagement, tags and paywall status.
One or more Substack publication URLs. Accepts publication roots (e.g. 'https://platformer.substack.com' or custom domain 'https://www.lennysnewsletter.com') and single post URLs ('https://.../p/some-post'). Each publication is paginated up to maxPosts. NOT a keyword search input — this actor scrapes by publication URL.
Hard cap on the number of posts scraped and billed per publication. Each post counts as one billable result. Defaults to 50. Set lower for cheap test runs.

Optional ISO 8601 date or datetime. Only posts published on or before this date are returned. Leave empty for no upper bound.
