This is an unofficial library providing a Python interface for Substack. I am in no way affiliated with Substack.
You can install python-substack using:
$ pip install python-substack
Set the following environment variables by creating a .env file:
PUBLICATION_URL=https://ma2za.substack.com
EMAIL=
PASSWORD=
USER_ID=
To discover the USER_ID go to your public profile page, in the URL bar of the browser you find the substack address followed by your USER_ID and your username: https://substack.com/profile/[USER_ID]-[username]
The .env file will be ignored by git but always be careful.
Check out the examples folder for some examples 😃 🚀
import os
from substack import Api
from substack.post import Post
api = Api(
email=os.getenv("EMAIL"),
password=os.getenv("PASSWORD"),
publication_url=os.getenv("PUBLICATION_URL"),
)
post = Post(
title="How to publish a Substack post using the Python API",
subtitle="This post was published using the Python API",
user_id=os.getenv("USER_ID")
)
post.add({'type': 'paragraph', 'content': 'This is how you add a new paragraph to your post!'})
draft = api.post_draft(post.get_draft())
api.prepublish_draft(draft.get("id"))
api.publish_draft(draft.get("id"))
