What you get with Poper Substack Feed
Six things that matter when you are paying for a Substack widget, not 30 features no one uses.
Pulled live from your Substack RSS feed
Substack does not have an official API, but every publication exposes a public RSS feed at /feed. Poper reads that feed continuously, parses posts, podcast enclosures, and paid teaser blocks, and renders them with native Substack styling on your site. No scraping, no fragile workarounds. Your RSS is the source of truth, and your widget always reflects it.
Paid post teasers without breaking the paywall
Paid Substack posts include a public preview in the RSS feed. Poper renders the preview with a clean Subscribe to read more CTA wired straight back to your Substack paid tier signup. Your paywall stays intact, your free-to-paid funnel runs from your own domain.
One publication per widget
Connect one Substack publication RSS feed per widget so the source stays clear. Add another widget if you want a second publication on a different page or section.
Podcast episodes with inline audio
Substack podcasts are RSS-native. Poper renders episodes with cover art, episode summaries, and an inline HTML5 audio player so listeners hit play without leaving your site. Perfect for podcast-newsletter hybrids.
Lightweight embed setup
The embed loads through the Poper snippet. Validate layout and performance on your own page after embedding.
Track feed engagement
The default Subscribe button drops readers into your Substack signup with the source attributed back. Customize button copy, color, and placement. Use a sticky footer pill, an inline subscribe form, or a per-post badge. Use your site analytics to evaluate widget performance.

The complete guide to embedding Substack on your website
Use your own analytics to validate this feed on your site.
01
Substack has no official API. RSS is the access model.
Unlike Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn, Substack has not shipped a public API. There is no developer portal, no OAuth flow, and no documented endpoint catalogue. What Substack does expose, by design, is a per-publication RSS feed at /feed (for example, yourname.substack.com/feed). The feed includes the post title, publish date, full HTML body for free posts, a public preview for paid posts, podcast episode enclosures with audio file URLs, cover image URLs, and author metadata. Every legitimate Substack widget on the market is built on top of this RSS feed, because it is the only stable, terms-of-service-friendly access point. Poper reads your RSS feed continuously, caches it on a global CDN edge, and re-renders it with the styling you choose. No scraping, no headless browser, no fragile workarounds. The RSS feed is your source of truth, and your widget always reflects it.
