Substack
A paid subscription newsletter platform for independent creators, enabling authors to send content directly to subscribers via email and to monetize their work through subscription fees.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Substack is a membership newsletter platform whose core is selling "content packages," with readers subscribing monthly or annually.
A newsletter refers to subscription content that creators publish regularly through email lists, usually bypassing platform algorithms to reach readers directly; platforms such as Substack have enabled economics and technology writers to build independent audiences and monetize directly.
Platforms such as Patreon and Substack have cultivated a mature subscription culture, but lack Spotify's discovery traffic.
Each Substack image is wrapped in <a class="image-link">, which after conversion forms a nested [](img) pattern, requiring a custom rule to strip off the link layer.
For Substack paid articles, only metadata should be used for ingestion; do not attempt to bypass the paywall.
In the Substack single-post endpoint, an audience field value of everyone indicates a free article; paid articles return only preview content rather than the full body text.
The Substack single-post endpoint is /api/v1/posts/{slug}, and the body_html field in the response contains the body HTML.
Every Substack publication (including custom domains) provides an archive JSON endpoint at the path /api/v1/archive, supporting offset and limit parameters for pagination.
The entries returned by the Substack archive endpoint include fields such as title, slug, post_date, audience, wordcount, reaction_count, publishedBylines, and postTags, but do not include the body text.
Substack body text embeds subscription components, button wrappers, and icon containers, and these elements need to be stripped out during the HTML-to-Markdown stage.
