Truth Social Posts Monitor - New, Edited & Deleted Posts

Watch one Truth Social account and get only what changed since your last run: new posts (Truths and ReTruths), posts that were edited, and posts that were deleted. Built for alert bots, trading and news-monitoring pipelines, and researchers that poll an account such as @realDonaldTrump every few minutes and do not want to receive, store and pay for the same posts again.

• One account per run, a few seconds. Production runs on 2026-09-24 took 3.5-6.2 s of run time at 256 MB.
• Only new posts. The Actor remembers what it already returned (in a named key-value store), so a scheduled run with nothing new returns one free row that says "no new post".
• Edits and deletions. It also re-checks the account's 20 newest posts (the first page Truth Social lists) against what it saw before: an edited post comes back with changeType: "edited" and the text before the edit; a deleted post comes back with changeType: "deleted" and the last text seen. A post is only called deleted when Truth Social answers HTTP 404 for that post; if Truth Social does not answer, it is checked again on the next run instead of being guessed.
• No charge when Truth Social cannot be read. If every attempt is refused, the run ends with a free row that says so and exits with an error; no start fee is charged.
• Clean JSON. Plain text with working links (not HTML fragments), plus the original HTML, media URLs, ReTruth and quote details, hashtags, mentions and counts.

Unofficial. Uses Truth Social's public, logged-out web API and returns only public posts. No login, no cookies, no account needed.

Column	Meaning
status	ok for a post row. Other values are free rows that say why nothing was returned (below).
changeType	new, edited or deleted
username, accountId	The watched account
postId, postUrl	The post (for a ReTruth, the ReTruth itself)
createdAt, editedAt	ISO times from Truth Social. editedAt is null for posts never edited
text	Plain text of the post with paragraphs as line breaks and full link URLs. Null for a post with only media
contentHtml	The post exactly as Truth Social sends it (HTML)
language, sensitive	As Truth Social reports them
isReply, inReplyToPostId	Replies (only when onlyReplies is on)
isRepost, repostOfPostId, repostOfUsername, repostOfUrl, repostOfText	ReTruth details: the original post, its author and text
quoteOfPostId	The quoted post, if any
links, cardUrl, cardTitle	Link URLs in the post and the link preview
media, mediaCount	Images and videos: type, url, previewUrl
hashtags, mentions	Tag names and mentioned accounts
repliesCount, repostsCount, likesCount	Counts at the time of the check (null if Truth Social did not send one)
minutesAfterPosted	Minutes between the post and this check - how fresh the alert is
previousText	For edited: the text before the edit. For deleted: the last text seen
isFirstCheck	True for rows returned on the first run of a watch
note	Free rows only: why nothing (or not everything) was returned
checkedAt	Time of the check

Free rows (not charged)

status	When
no-new-posts	Nothing new, edited or deleted since the last run
watch-started	First run with maxPostsFirstRun 0: the account is now watched
not-found	Truth Social has no account with this username (HTTP 404). No start fee
blocked	Truth Social refused every attempt, also from other IP addresses. No start fee; the run exits with an error so your schedule or webhook sees it
unreadable	Truth Social's answer could not be read, or more than 200 posts arrived since the last run
bad-input	The input could not be used; nothing was requested
budget-reached	The run hit the maximum total charge you set; the rows not returned are not remembered, so the next run returns them

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
username	string	realDonaldTrump	One account: realDonaldTrump, @realDonaldTrump or https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump
maxPostsFirstRun	integer 0-100	10	On the first run of a watch, return this many newest posts and only remember the rest. 0 = start watching from now
onlyReplies	boolean	false	Watch the account's replies instead of its posts. Truth Social lists replies separately from the profile's Truths
includeReposts	boolean	true	Also return ReTruths
trackEditsAndDeletions	boolean	true	Also return edited and deleted rows for the account's recent posts
watchName	string	(none)	Keeps separate memories for two schedules watching the same account for different purposes
resetMonitoringState	boolean	false	Forget this watch's memory at the start of the run (the run becomes a first check). Turn it off for scheduled runs

Example:

{ "username": "realDonaldTrump", "maxPostsFirstRun": 5 }

How to use it for monitoring

1. Run it once with your account and maxPostsFirstRun (for example 5) to see the latest posts.
2. Create a Schedule (every 5, 15 or 60 minutes) with the same input.
3. Connect a webhook or an integration (Slack, email, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets) to the dataset. Every run returns only the changes; runs with no change return one free no-new-posts row, so filter on status = "ok".

To watch several accounts, create one schedule (or task) per account. Each run stays small and fast, and each account keeps its own memory.

Pricing

Pay per event:

• Run start - charged once per run, only when the account's post list was actually read. Not charged when the username does not exist, when Truth Social refuses the request, or when the run's maximum total charge has no room for the start fee plus one post row (then nothing is requested at all).
• Post returned - one per new, edited or deleted row. Free rows are never charged.

A scheduled check that finds nothing costs one run start. The exact prices are shown on the Pricing tab.

Measured in production (2026-09-24, build 0.1)

Run	Input	Result	Run time
First check	{} (realDonaldTrump), maxPostsFirstRun 5	5 new posts	6.2 s
Second check	same	1 free no-new-posts row	5.3 s
Unknown user	zq7neverempty_nope9	1 free not-found row	3.5 s
Another account	@DevinNunes, 8 posts	8 new posts (ReTruths included)	5.8 s
Replies	DevinNunes profile URL, onlyReplies	3 replies	3.5 s

Truth Social refuses most requests from cloud servers, so the Actor sends each request through Apify's US residential proxy and, if a request is refused, asks again from another IP address (up to 6 times per request). It never solves check pages or CAPTCHAs.

Limits

• One account per run. Truth Social returns 20 posts per page; a later run reads back up to 200 new posts since the previous run and says so in a free row if more arrived.
• Edits and deletions are only seen among the account's 20 newest posts at the time of each run; an older post that is edited or deleted is not reported. At most 5 possibly deleted posts are confirmed per run (the rest on the next run).
• If Truth Social suddenly returns an empty list for an account that had posts (for example a suspended account), nothing is reported as deleted; a free row says so.
• If a later page of posts cannot be read in a run with more than 20 new posts, that run returns nothing, charges nothing and exits with an error, so no new post is skipped; the next run returns them all.
• Two overlapping schedules for the same account and watchName can overwrite each other's memory; use different watchNames.
• Counts (likesCount etc.) are a snapshot at the time of the check; the Actor does not return a post again only because its counts changed.
• Posts that Truth Social does not show to logged-out visitors are not returned.
