Technical details

• API used: Truth Social's Mastodon-compatible API (/api/v1/accounts/lookup, /api/v1/accounts/{id}/statuses, /api/v2/search) — Truth Social is built on a fork of Mastodon
• Cloudflare handling: All API calls execute inside a real browser context to satisfy Cloudflare checks. If your runs are blocked, enable RESIDENTIAL proxies in proxyConfiguration.
• Modes: Author mode (all Truths from a user's feed), profile mode (profile data only), search mode (keyword search), hashtag mode (hashtag timelines), trending mode (currently trending Truths), and comments mode (full reply threads for any post) — the last four require your own Truth Social credentials
• Pagination: Automatic max_id pagination up to 10,000 results per run
• Filters: includeReplies to include replies, onlyMedia to filter to posts with media
• Search, hashtag, trending & comments require credentials — Truth Social gates these endpoints behind login. Provide truthUsername/truthPassword and the actor obtains a token via OAuth. If your login triggers a device security-code challenge, pass truthAccessToken instead: log in at truthsocial.com, open devtools → Application → Local Storage → truth:auth → users → copy access_token.
• Export formats: JSON, CSV, XML, Excel, or HTML via Apify
• Integrations: REST API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, Airbyte, and LangChain

FAQ

Do I need a Truth Social account? No for author and profile modes — those use public API endpoints. Search mode requires a Truth Social account because the platform gates search behind authentication.

What is a "Truth"? Truth Social's name for a post. "Retruths" are reposts (equivalent to Mastodon reblogs / Twitter retweets).

Why does the run take a few seconds to start? The actor launches a real browser to pass Truth Social's Cloudflare protection, then makes fast API calls inside that session. Cold start is ~10-20 seconds.

How many results can I get per run? Up to 10,000 results per run using the maxResults parameter.

Is scraping Truth Social legal?

This scraper only accesses publicly available data through Truth Social's Mastodon-compatible API. Author and profile modes require no authentication. Search mode uses your own account credentials, subject to Truth Social's Terms of Service. Always review how you use scraped data against applicable laws and platform terms.
