Example use cases

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/substack/posts?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search across all Substack publications by keyword, especially when time filtering (last 24h, week, month, or year), language preference, or AI-powered emotion/sentiment analysis are needed. Prefer this over general web search when the user specifically wants newsletter or long-form Substack content. It complements sibling endpoints for Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, and Threads searches on the same platform.
