Truth Social Scraper - Posts, Profiles, Monitor (no login)

Scrape public Truth Social accounts and get one flat row per post: text, media, reply/repost/like counters, timestamps and the permalink. Add a profile row with followers and post counts when you need the account card too. No login, no cookies, no API token - the actor reads the same public JSON the site serves to a logged-out visitor.

What you get

One row per post: id, url, postId, accountId, username, displayName, text, contentHtml, createdAt, repliesCount, repostsCount, likesCount, mediaUrls, mediaTypes, isReply, isRepost, repostOfPostId, repostOfUsername, language, query, source, scrapedAt.

With Add a profile row on, each account also returns one kind: "account" row: followersCount, followingCount, statusesCount, bio, bioHtml, verified, avatarUrl, headerUrl, website, location, accountCreatedAt, lastStatusAt.

text is the post with the HTML stripped; contentHtml keeps the original markup so links and mentions survive.

You are charged only for rows actually pushed: a run that finds nothing charges no result events. Truth Social answers only through Apify's Web Unblocker proxy, whose traffic is billed by Apify on top of these events.

Monitor mode

Set mode: "monitor" on a saved task and each run returns only posts that are new or whose like, repost or reply counts changed since the previous run. A webhook URL or a Telegram bot token plus chat id turns that into an alert.

Limits

• Keyword search (/api/v2/search), trending posts (/api/v1/trends) and hashtag timelines need a logged-in account: checked from the platform on 2026-09-12, the first two answer 401 USER_UNAUTHENTICATED and the hashtag timeline answers an empty list to every logged-out request. This actor therefore scrapes accounts, not keywords.
• Public accounts only. A locked account, a deleted account or an unknown handle is skipped and returns no rows.
• Truth Social answers only through Apify's Web Unblocker, and every page of 20 statuses is one billed request. includeReplies: false and includeReposts: false drop rows after fetching them, so a heavily filtered account reads more pages than the rows it returns; each account stops at 300 pages (6,000 statuses scanned) whatever the filters say.
• Counters are the values at scrape time; a fresh post's counts move for hours afterwards.
• No follower lists, no likers, no repliers - the actor returns the account's own public posts and its public profile card.

FAQ

Do I need a Truth Social account, cookies or a bearer token? No. There is no credential field at all; every request is a logged-out public API call.

Why is text empty on some rows? Those posts are media-only (a picture or video with no caption). mediaUrls and mediaTypes still carry the attachment.

What does a repost row look like? With includeReposts: true a ReTruth keeps the reposting account's row identity (postId, url, username) and carries the original post's text, media and counters, plus repostOfUsername and repostOfPostId for attribution.

What happens when there are no results? No rows are pushed and no result events are charged. The RUN_SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store carries emptyReason, which separates "the handle does not exist" from "the site answered with a wall".

Changelog

• 0.1: initial release - accounts and posts through the public JSON API, profile rows, reply/repost/date filters, monitor mode; auth walls are reported as blocks instead of empty datasets.
