You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Truth Social Scraper Scrape public Truth Social profiles, posts, search results, media, engagement metrics, author metadata, and complete source objects. ### Modes Pick one mode with the `mode` input: - **Search** (`mode: "search"`, default) — scrape public posts for matching search terms or public handles such as `@realDonaldTrump`. Uses the `searchQueries` field. - **URL** (`mode: "url"`) — scrape one or more public profile URLs or individual post URLs. Uses the `startUrls` field. Only the inputs for the selected mode are used. ### What it can do - Search mode: scrape public posts for matching search terms when available; public handles such as `@realDonaldTrump` are also supported. - URL mode: scrape one or more public profile URLs or individual post URLs in the same field. - Profile content controls: profile-only, posts-only, replies-only, or posts and replies (applies to profile URLs). - Rich output: normalized convenience fields plus complete account/status objects so nested public fields are not dropped. ### Inputs | Input | Default | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | `mode` | `search` | `search` (use `searchQueries`) or `url` (use `startUrls`). Only the selected mode's inputs run. | | `searchQueries` | `[]` | Search mode: search terms or public handles such as `@realDonaldTrump`. | | `maxSearchResults` | `0` | No per-query cap by default; the run stops at Max items. | | `startUrls` | `[]` | URL mode: Truth Social profile or post URLs, e.g. `https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump`. Profile URLs return the account's posts; post URLs return the single post. | | `profileContentType` | `postsAndReplies` | For profile URLs: `profileOnly`, `postsOnly`, `repliesOnly`, or `postsAndReplies`. | | `maxPostsPerProfile` | `0` | No per-profile cap by default; the run stops at Max items. Fewer rows may be returned if fewer public records exist. | | `maxItems` | `20` | The only finite default cap for the whole run. | | `maxPages` | `0` | Unlimited by default; leave `0` to stop at Max items. | | `includeRaw` | `true` | Keeps complete source account/status objects. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Apify residential | Residential proxies are recommended. Basic shared or no-proxy runs can be blocked more often. | If the selected mode's input is empty, the actor defaults to `@realDonaldTrump`. ### Example input Search mode (default): ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQueries": ["@realDonaldTrump"], "maxSearchResults": 0, "maxItems": 20, "includeRaw": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ```` URL mode: ```json { "mode": "url", "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump" }], "profileContentType": "postsAndReplies", "maxPostsPerProfile": 0, "maxItems": 20, "includeRaw": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` ### Output fields Common post/search fields include: - `recordType` - `sourceQuery` - `postId` - `postUrl` - `content` - `contentHtml` - `createdAt` - `editedAt` - `language` - `repliesCount` - `reTruthsCount` - `likesCount` - `quotesCount` - `media`, `mediaUrls` - `tags`, `mentions` - `poll`, `card`, `cardUrl`, `cardTitle` - `authorId`, `authorUsername`, `authorAcct`, `authorDisplayName`, `authorUrl` - `account` - `rawStatus` Profile records include: - `userId` - `username` - `acct` - `displayName` - `bio`, `bioHtml` - `url` - `avatar`, `header` - `followersCount` - `followingCount` - `statusesCount` - `createdAt` - `lastStatusAt` - `verified` - `fields` - `rawAccount` ### Proxy guidance Use residential proxies for best reliability. Free-tier or no-proxy runs may work intermittently but are more likely to be blocked. ### Notes on legality This actor is designed for public Truth Social data only. Some public social-media records may still contain personal data. Use the results only for lawful purposes and follow applicable data-protection rules. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): How to start the scrape. Search mode uses the Search queries below; URL mode uses the Profile or post URLs below. ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Search terms or public handles. For handles, use values such as @realDonaldTrump. ## `maxSearchResults` (type: `integer`): Leave 0 for no per-query cap; the run stops at Max items. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public Truth Social profile URLs (for example https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump) or individual post URLs. Profile URLs return that account's posts; post URLs return the single post. ## `profileContentType` (type: `string`): For profile URLs, choose whether to return profile metadata only, posts only, replies only, or both posts and replies. Ignored for post URLs. ## `maxPostsPerProfile` (type: `integer`): Leave 0 for no per-profile cap; the run stops at Max items. Fewer rows are returned when the profile has fewer public matching records. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): The only finite default cap. Maximum matching rows to save across the whole run; fewer rows are returned when selected inputs have fewer public matches. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): No page limit by default. Leave 0 for unlimited; the run stops at Max items. ## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`): Keep complete source account/status objects so no nested public field is dropped. ## `countryCode` (type: `string`): Preferred proxy country. US is recommended for Truth Social. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Residential proxies are recommended. Basic shared or no-proxy runs can be blocked more often. ## `mcpConnectors` (type: `array`): Optionally send a compact summary into configured MCP connectors. The full dataset remains in Apify. ## `notionParentPageUrl` (type: `string`): Required only when exporting to Notion. ## `maxNotifyListings` (type: `integer`): Maximum items sent to each connector. Does not affect the Apify dataset. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQueries": [ "@realDonaldTrump" ], "maxSearchResults": 0, "startUrls": [], "profileContentType": "postsAndReplies", "maxPostsPerProfile": 0, "maxItems": 20, "maxPages": 0, "includeRaw": true, "countryCode": "US", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] }, "maxNotifyListings": 50 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
