Use cases

Content and competitor research: see what top newsletters in your niche publish and what gets the most likes and comments.
AI and search: build a clean text corpus from free posts for RAG, summaries or topic tracking.
Creator analytics: track publishing frequency, length and engagement over time.
Monitoring: get every new post from the newsletters you follow in one feed.

How much does it cost?

You pay $3.00 per 1,000 posts, nothing else. Set Maximum results to cap your spend; the run stops when it reaches your limit. Publications that don't exist cost nothing.

How to use it

Add publications to Publications: astralcodexten, astralcodexten.substack.com, or a custom domain like https://www.lennysnewsletter.com. A link to any post works too.
Optionally set Max posts per publication, Posted within (days) or Free posts only.
Click Start and download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull results by API.

Input example

{
  "publications": ["astralcodexten", "https://www.lennysnewsletter.com"],
  "maxPostsPerPublication": 100,
  "postedWithinDays": 90,
  "includeContent": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Paid posts

Paid (subscriber-only) posts are included with their metadata and Substack's own short teaser, and are marked isPaywalled: true. Their full text is never returned; this Actor doesn't get around paywalls. Turn on Free posts only to skip them.

Speed

About 600 posts a minute without full text, and about 50 a minute with full text (one extra request per free post).

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads each publication's public archive, the same data its /archive page shows to every visitor, and full text only for posts the author made free.

A publication returned nothing. It's listed under FAILED_PUBLICATIONS in the run's key-value store. Check that the address opens a Substack in your browser.

Something broke. Open an issue on the Issues tab; fixes usually ship within 24 hours.
