Truth Social Scraper

What is Truth Social Scraper?

Truth Social Scraper extracts public Truth Social posts ("truths"), profiles, comment threads, keyword and hashtag search results and trending truths, and returns them as clean dataset rows. Each post row has the post id, url, plain-text content, createdAt, language, author handle, display name, verification and follower count, reply, retruth and like counts, reply and retruth flags, media, mentions and hashtags. Political analysts, journalists, traders watching market-moving posts, OSINT researchers and AI agents use it to monitor public figures and topics, starting from a username, URL, post ID, #hashtag or the word trending.

Best fit for this Actor

• Designed for monitoring public voices. Use it to track what prominent accounts post, archive statements as they appear, and measure engagement per post.
• One input box, auto-detected. query accepts a username, profile URL, post URL or 18-digit ID, a #hashtag or trending, and the Actor picks the mode.
• Scheduled monitoring. sinceLastRun returns only posts newer than the last run for each profile or hashtag, which suits hourly or daily schedules.
• Batch jobs. startUrls takes many profile, post and hashtag URLs in one run.
• Cross-platform view. When you want the same story from X, then use X (Twitter) Tweet Scraper with the same names or keywords and compare the two datasets.
• Community reaction elsewhere. For discussion threads on the same topic, continue with Reddit Posts Scraper.

What people and AI agents ask this Actor to do

Get the latest 50 truths from realDonaldTrump. Pull this post and its comment thread. Search Truth Social for posts about tariffs. Give me only new posts from these accounts since yesterday's run.

Request	Input to send
Latest posts from a prominent account	{"query": "realDonaldTrump", "maxResults": 50}
Posts with media only	{"query": "realDonaldTrump", "onlyMedia": true, "maxResults": 25}
Profile card plus posts	{"query": "realDonaldTrump", "includeProfileInfo": true}
One post and its comments	{"query": "https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117340294147897033", "includeComments": true, "maxComments": 100}
Keyword search	{"searchTerms": ["tariffs"], "searchType": "statuses", "maxResults": 200}

Workflow example: a market-signal alert

A trading desk starts with query set to realDonaldTrump, sinceLastRun on and maxResults at 20, and schedules the run every 15 minutes. Each run returns only new truths with content, createdAt and engagement counts. The desk feeds content into a keyword filter for words like tariff, rate or sanction, then pushes matching rows to a chat alert with the post url. At the end of the week the analyst exports the dataset and compares likesCount and retruthsCount across topics.

How to scrape Truth Social

1. Put a username, profile URL, post URL or ID, #hashtag or trending in Query. Use Search terms for keywords or Start URLs for a batch.
2. Set Maximum results to cap the number of rows.
3. Click Start, then export the dataset or read it through the API.

Comment rows follow the same post shape, and profile rows from includeProfileInfo or profileMetadata carry the account's bio and counts.

Public and signed-in modes

Public mode covers the profiles, posts and profile metadata of prominent accounts such as realDonaldTrump, with no credentials. Comment threads, keyword search, hashtag timelines, trending truths and smaller profiles run when you add an access token from your own Truth Social session, or a username and password that the Actor exchanges for a token at runtime. Credentials stay encrypted in the input and are kept out of logs and output.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event plus Apify platform usage. Two events apply: Actor Start once per run, and Result once per row written to the dataset, whether that row is a post, comment, profile or hashtag. For example, one post with its first 100 comments creates 101 Result events and one Actor Start event, plus the platform usage for the run. maxResults sets the ceiling on Result events. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current event prices.

Use with AI agents through Apify MCP

Connect this Actor to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify MCP, then ask:

Get the latest 20 truths from realDonaldTrump. Summarize the main topics, list the three posts with the most likes with their URLs and times, and tell me how many rows came back.

Agent checklist:

1. Put the account, URL, hashtag or trending in query, and set maxResults as the cost ceiling.
2. Use public mode for prominent accounts; add an access token for comments, search, hashtags or trending.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items and cite each post's url and createdAt.
4. Turn on sinceLastRun for scheduled monitoring so each run returns only fresh posts.

Best results

Starting situation	Helpful action	Expected outcome
Monitoring a public figure	Schedule with sinceLastRun on	Only new posts each run
Visual content research	Set onlyMedia to true	Posts with images or video
Text for NLP or an LLM	Keep cleanContent at true	Plain text in content
Full conversation context	Set includeReplies to true	The account's replies as well as top-level posts
Many accounts at once	List profile URLs in startUrls	One dataset across all targets
Discussion around one post	Use the post URL with includeComments	The post plus its comment rows

Builder's note

I built this around one auto-detecting input, because people arrive with a name, a link or a hashtag and should not have to pick a mode first. I found that most demand is for monitoring prominent accounts, so public mode covers that job with no credentials, and the incremental flag keeps scheduled runs lean. My goal was one row shape for posts and comments, so the same downstream sheet or agent prompt works for every mode.

FAQ

Do I need a Truth Social account?

No for prominent accounts' posts and profiles. An access token unlocks comments, search, hashtags, trending and smaller profiles.

Can I get only new posts?

Yes. Set sinceLastRun to true and schedule the Actor; each target remembers its newest post.

How do I keep HTML formatting?

Set cleanContent to false, and the original markup appears in contentHtml.

Which proxy should I use?

Keep the preset Residential proxy for steady access.
