## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to scrape or extract content from a Substack newsletter or publication URL, and want a pay-per-request model with no subscription or API key required. Ideal for agents that need one-off or low-frequency Substack data access without a standing account.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-Substack URL returns an error or success:false
- Paywalled Substack content may return incomplete data
- Payment failure via x402 prevents the request from being processed
- Rate limits or timeouts if the Substack page is slow or unavailable
- Malformed URL input causes a 400-level error
