Substack Scraper — Apify Actor

Scrape posts from any Substack publication. Works with *.substack.com subdomains and with custom domains (e.g. www.thefp.com). Optionally fetches each post's full HTML body. Supports a session cookie for accessing paid content of publications you're subscribed to.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`publications`	`array<string>`	— (required)	Subdomain (e.g. `platformer`), full host (`www.thefp.com`), or URL.
`postsPerPublication`	`integer`	`10`	Number of most recent posts per publication.
`fetchFullContent`	`boolean`	`false`	If true, fetches each post's full HTML body (extra request per post).
`sinceDate`	`string` (YYYY-MM-DD)	—	Skip posts older than this date.
`substackSid`	`string` (secret)	—	Your `substack.sid` cookie value, for paid content you're subscribed to.
`maxConcurrency`	`integer`	`5`	Parallel requests when `fetchFullContent` is on.

Example input

{
    "publications": ["platformer", "astralcodexten", "www.thefp.com"],
    "postsPerPublication": 25,
    "fetchFullContent": true,
    "sinceDate": "2025-01-01",
    "maxConcurrency": 5
}

Output

One dataset row per post:

{
    "publication_host": "platformer.substack.com",
    "post_id": 12345678,
    "slug": "the-ai-takeover",
    "title": "The AI takeover of search",
    "subtitle": "What changes when answers replace links",
    "description": "A short summary of the post...",
    "url": "https://www.platformer.news/the-ai-takeover/",
    "type": "newsletter",
    "audience": "everyone",
    "published": "2026-05-18T10:00:00.000Z",
    "author": "Casey Newton",
    "author_handle": "caseynewton",
    "reactions": 234,
    "comments": 56,
    "cover_image": "https://...",
    "word_count": 1842,
    "body_html": "<p>...</p>",
    "truncated_body_text": null
}

For paywalled posts you don't have access to, body_html will be a short preview and truncated_body_text will contain it as plain text.

Getting your `substack.sid` cookie (for paid content)

Log into Substack in your browser.
Open DevTools → Application → Cookies → https://substack.com.
Copy the value of the substack.sid cookie.
Paste it into the substackSid field. Treat it like a password.

You'll only get paid posts for publications you actually pay for.
