Only a licensed one. Trump Media launched Truth API on 1 August 2026: a business-to-business feed of public posts from certain top Truth Social accounts, built for institutions such as high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms, with an archive back to 2022. Trump Media says no official API existed before it. It publishes no price; licences are arranged with its data licensing team.
Is there a free Truth Social API?
Not from Trump Media: Truth API is licensed, with no published price. For public data, most data APIs let you start free: Monocrawl gives 1,000 credits every month, Bright Data 5,000 page loads a month, Apify $5 of usage a month and Captapi 100 lifetime credits. Open Measures’ public API is free at 39 queries a day, for posts at least six months old.
Can I get Truth Social posts in real time?
Truth API is Trump Media’s own real-time feed, for licensed institutions and certain top accounts. 1322 pushes new posts, reposts and quotes from the accounts on your tracked list to Discord, or over WebSocket for $150 a month more, with plans from $300 a month for 5 accounts. Data APIs such as Monocrawl return an account’s latest posts, newest first, each time you call them.
Can I get older Truth Social posts through an API?
Monocrawl returns an account’s posts newest first, one page at a time, with a cursor for the next page. Apify’s Truth Social Scraper can return only posts newer than a date you set, or continue from its last run. Open Measures’ free public API searches posts at least six months old, and Trump Media says Truth API includes an archive back to 2022. 1322 streams new posts only, with no backfill.
Do I need a Truth Social account to use a data API?
Not with Monocrawl: you send your Monocrawl API key with a handle or post URL and get public Truth Social data back, with no Truth Social login and no licence. Truth API needs a licensing agreement with Trump Media, and 1322 works with its own API key on a tracked-account plan.
Which Truth Social APIs work with AI agents?
Monocrawl, Apify and Captapi publish their own MCP servers that reach Truth Social data, so assistants such as Claude or Cursor can call them directly. Bright Data’s MCP server has only a general scraping tool, which returns the page.
