Download Any Substack Article as Markdown (Open Source)

Substack2Markdown is a Python tool available on GitHub that allows users to download Substack posts and save them in Markdown and HTML formats. Key features include the ability to convert posts into Markdown files, generate HTML for browsing, support for both free and premium content (with a subscription), and sorting options for the HTML interface based on date or likes. To install the tool, users can clone the repository, optionally create a virtual environment, and install the necessary dependencies. For accessing premium content, users need to update the configuration file with their Substack email and password. The tool can be used to scrape posts by specifying the Substack URL and the desired save directory, with options to limit the number of posts or include premium content. Additionally, an online version called Substack Reader allows users to read and export free articles without installation. For viewing Markdown files, users can utilize a browser extension or the generated HTML files. This tool is particularly beneficial for those looking to archive or read Substack content offline, especially subscribers to premium content.
