## FAQ

### Does Truth Social have a public API?

Truth Social does not offer an open developer API. This task works as a Truth Social API: send a username and get that account's posts back as structured JSON.

### How do I call the Truth Social API from Python?

Use the apify-client library: call this task with a username and max posts, then read the run's dataset. Each post comes back as JSON with text, time, URL, media and counts.

### What JSON fields does each Truth Social post have?

id, created_at, url, content, account details, media_attachments, mentions, tags, the link card and quote, plus replies_count, reblogs_count and favourites_count.

### Can I get only new posts with each API call?

Yes. Turn on Use last post ID and each call returns only posts newer than the last one seen for that username, which is ideal for polling.

No. You don't need a Truth Social account, login or API key; only an Apify account to run the task or call it through the Apify API.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Truth Social Scraper](https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/truth-social-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/muhammetakkurtt/truth-social-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
