S
They capture the post, but not the discussion.
J
And that's where the real value usually is.
Turn chats and posts into clean JSON, CSV, or Markdown with full thread depth, preserved reply chains, and output that is actually usable for research, archiving, and AI workflows.
Substack conversations live inside reply chains, not just top-level posts. Most tools stop at the surface, skip nested replies, or export incomplete data that is hard to search, analyze, or feed into AI tools.
Stackscraper is not just a scraper. It is an export utility built for people who need the whole thread and a clean file at the end.
Export top-level posts, reply chains, nested replies, and full history without flattening the conversation into useless fragments.
Choose JSON for programmatic work, CSV for spreadsheets, or Markdown for reading, archiving, and pasting into AI tools.
Runs with your existing browser session and processes exports locally, so you do not need to create another account to get started.
Stackscraper saves your last export point. Next time, skip everything you have already captured and export only what is new.
Install the extension, open the page you want, and export the thread in the format you need.

Yes. Markdown and JSON are especially useful when you want to search, summarize, or analyze thread data with downstream tools.
