Extract posts from Substack publication archives - post positions, titles, descriptions, publication dates, comment counts, like counts, and images - to analyze newsletter strategies, track competitor publishing, and study the Substack ecosystem.
Substack has become the dominant platform for independent newsletter publishing, hosting thousands of writers who generate revenue directly from paid subscriptions. Each Substack publication has a public archive page listing every post - both free and paid - in reverse chronological order. Archive entries show the post position, title, publication date, description snippet, comment count, like count (hearts), featured image, and whether the post is free or behind the paywall.
Some Substack archives also indicate podcast episodes, thread discussions, and community notes. For newsletter strategists studying what works on Substack, media analysts tracking the creator economy, and competitive researchers monitoring rival newsletters, Substack archives provide a transparent view of a publication's complete output and audience engagement signals. This robot extracts post listings from any Substack publication's archive page.
