Truth Social Scraper — Posts, Profiles, Comments, Search & Trends

Truth Social Scraper extracts public data from Truth Social — profile timelines, individual posts ("truths"), reply threads, keyword and hashtag search, and trending truths — and returns it as clean, structured JSON. One actor covers every surface: paste a username, a profile URL, a post URL or ID, a #hashtag, or the word trending, and the scraper auto-detects what you want. Built HTTP-first on the Mastodon-compatible Truth Social API, it is fast, reliable, and ready to call from AI agents over MCP.

Truth Social has no official API and no public documentation. This actor gives you a dependable, structured-JSON interface to its public data, with residential-proxy rotation to stay reliable behind Cloudflare and optional authentication for accounts that Truth Social now hides behind login.

Public vs authenticated. Since August 2025 Truth Social serves the timelines and posts of prominent/public accounts (e.g. realDonaldTrump) without login, but gates search, hashtag timelines, trending, comment threads, and non-prominent profiles behind authentication. Supply an optional Access Token (or username + password) to unlock those — see Authentication below. Public mode alone fully covers the most common job: monitoring prominent figures' posts.

Every post record includes: id, url, content, createdAt (ISO 8601), language, authorUsername, authorDisplayName, authorVerified, authorFollowers, repliesCount, retruthsCount, likesCount, isReply, isRetruth, hasMedia, media[], mentions[], hashtags[], card (link preview), and poll. Profile records add bio, followersCount, followingCount, statusesCount, and avatarUrl.

Use cases for Truth Social data

• Political monitoring — track Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and other public figures in near real time; archive statements as they post.
• Trading & market signals — pipe new truths into alerting and trading workflows that react to policy or market-moving posts.
• Journalism & research — build datasets for sentiment analysis, NLP, and cross-platform comparison.
• OSINT & brand monitoring — watch mentions, hashtags, and accounts of interest.
• Scheduled tracking — use Only New Since Last Run to capture only fresh posts on each scheduled run.

How to use Truth Social Scraper

1. Set Query to one of:
   • a username — realDonaldTrump or @realDonaldTrump
   • a profile URL — https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump
   • a post URL or 18-digit ID — https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114784862292392723
   • a hashtag — #MAGA
   • the word trending
2. Or set Search Terms for keyword search, or Start URLs for a batch of profile/post/hashtag URLs.
3. Set Maximum Results to cap volume (and cost).
4. Run. Results stream into the dataset as clean JSON.

The mode is auto-detected — you rarely need to touch the Mode override.

Scrape Truth Social by URL or search term

• By profile: Query = realDonaldTrump → returns the latest posts. Toggle Include Replies or Only Posts With Media to filter.
• By post + comments: Query = a post URL, plus Include Comment Thread → returns the post and its replies.
• By keyword: Search Terms = tariffs with Search Type = Posts → returns matching truths.
• By hashtag: Query = #MAGA → returns the hashtag timeline.
• Trending: Query = trending → returns the current trending truths.

Authentication (optional)

Since August 2025, Truth Social shows the public profile and posts of prominent accounts (such as realDonaldTrump) without login, but requires authentication for most other accounts. To scrape non-prominent profiles, provide either:

• an Access Token — an OAuth bearer token from a logged-in Truth Social web session, or
• a Username + Password — used once at runtime to obtain a token.

Both are stored encrypted and never written to logs. Leave them empty for public mode.

❓ FAQ

How many results can I scrape with Truth Social Scraper?

As many as you set in Maximum Results — from a single post to entire timelines. The actor paginates automatically and stops at your limit. Very large jobs are bounded only by Truth Social's own rate limits, which the scraper respects.

Can I integrate Truth Social Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Results are stored in an Apify dataset you can export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or push to Zapier, Make, webhooks, Google Sheets, and other integrations from the Apify platform.

Can I use Truth Social Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Start runs and fetch the dataset through the Apify API or any Apify client (JavaScript, Python). Pass the same input fields shown above.

Can I use Truth Social Scraper through an MCP Server?

Yes. This actor is MCP-ready and exposed via the Apify MCP server, so AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) can call it directly — for example, "get the latest truths from realDonaldTrump." Inputs and outputs are structured for agent consumption.

Do I need proxies to scrape Truth Social?

Yes — Truth Social sits behind Cloudflare and blocks datacenter and local IPs. The actor uses Apify residential proxies by default, which is the recommended setting. You do not need to configure anything.

Is it legal to scrape Truth Social data?

This actor collects only publicly available data and is intended for legitimate uses such as research, journalism, market analysis, and monitoring. You are responsible for complying with Truth Social's Terms of Service, applicable laws (including data-protection and copyright law), and for how you use the data.
