Substack

/substack/users

Get a Substack author’s public profile by handle: name, bio, profile image, follower_count, subscriber_count, subdomain_url, the publications they author, the publications they subscribe to, and their public reading lists.

Price: 10 credits

💡 AI Hint: Fetch a single Substack author profile. Identity is handle (e.g. platformer); a profile URL is also accepted. Returns one item with id, alias (handle), name, bio, image, follower_count, subscriber_count, subdomain_url, publications (publications authored by the user), subscriptions (publications the user subscribes to), and lists.

⚠️ Common errors: 412: Author not found
