Extract posts from Substack search results - titles, writers, descriptions, publication names, links, and thumbnail images - to find relevant newsletter content and discover writers covering your topics of interest.
Substack search surfaces articles from across its platform of independent newsletters - technology, business, culture, politics, health, and every niche in between. Unlike topic leaderboards that show trending content, search results respond to specific queries, revealing the depth and breadth of coverage that exists for any term or phrase on the platform. For researchers mapping how a topic is covered across Substack's newsletter ecosystem, marketers identifying writers who discuss relevant subjects, and content strategists studying competitive coverage, search-based extraction provides a different and complementary view to leaderboard data.
This robot extracts posts from Substack search results into structured data: position ranking, titles, writers, publication names, descriptions, links, and thumbnail images. Search for any term and get back a complete inventory of how Substack's writer community covers that subject.
