One request, clean JSON

Substack search from Substack: GET https://api.api.sh/substack/v1/search. Every other community & content endpoint works the same way.

curl "https://api.api.sh/substack/v1/search?q=ai+agents" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/substack/v1/search",
    params={"q": "ai agents"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

Why API.SH for community & content data

Public data only: no logins, cookies or accounts on the source sites
One key and one JSON shape across 8 community & content platforms and 482 in all
Blocks, retries and parsing handled for you: no scraper to maintain
Pay per call; failed calls cost nothing
Also in n8n, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and AI agents (MCP)

Compared with other data APIs

Other providers sell each platform as a separate actor, scraper or subscription. On API.SH every community & content platform is under one key and one balance, priced per call on the pricing page.
