Frequently Asked Questions
Which categories can I use?
Any Substack leaderboard category slug, such as technology, business, finance, crypto, culture, news, health, sports, us-politics, music, science and more. Add several in one run.
What is the bestseller tier? It is Substack's badge that reflects how many paid subscribers a publication has crossed. A higher tier signals a larger paying audience.
Do I get subscriber counts?
You get the public subscriber signal Substack exposes (an order-of-magnitude estimate like 233K+) plus the leaderboard rank, which together indicate reach and momentum.
Are empty runs charged? No. You are only charged for real publication records. A run that returns nothing is not billed.
How fresh is the data? Leaderboards are read live at run time, so each record reflects the ranking at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
