Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.apidirect.io/v1/substack/post?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve the full content or metadata of a specific Substack post and know its URL, post ID, or publication+slug. Ideal for newsletter monitoring, content research, sentiment analysis pipelines, or aggregating newsletter content. Prefer over general web scrapers when the target is specifically a Substack post, as this endpoint is purpose-built for Substack's structure and supports the optional Plutchik sentiment analysis add-on.
