## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Truth Social Scraper & Monitor: Trump Posts, Keyword Alerts

**Every post from Donald Trump's Truth Social account, or any public account, as clean rows, the moment you poll.** Built for people who trade on, report on or research what gets posted:

- **The post:** full text, time, edited time, link to the post
- **Engagement:** likes, reposts (ReTruths) and replies
- **Media and links:** images and videos, and the link card (URL, title, description)
- **Context:** repost of whom, quote of which post, reply or not, hashtags, mentions
- **Flags:** your **keywords**, **$cashtags**, and built-in **market topics**: tariffs, China, Fed and rates, oil and energy, crypto, stocks, sanctions and war, economy

Turn on **Only posts since the last run** and schedule it every few minutes: each run returns just the new posts, ready for a webhook, Slack or a trading alert.

### What you get

`postId`, `account`, `displayName`, `createdAt`, `editedAt`, `text`, `url`, `isRepost`, `repostOf`, `isReply`, `quoteOf`, `replies`, `reposts`, `likes`, `media`, `link`, `hashtags`, `mentions`, `cashtags`, `marketTopics`, `matchedKeywords`, `language`, `scrapedAt`

### Example input

Trump's latest 50 posts:

```json
{
  "accounts": ["realDonaldTrump"],
  "maxPostsPerAccount": 50
}
```

Scheduled alert: only new posts, only when they mention tariffs or named companies:

```json
{
  "accounts": ["realDonaldTrump"],
  "onlyNew": true,
  "keywords": ["tariff", "Tesla", "Intel", "Apple", "Bitcoin"],
  "onlyMatching": true
}
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "postId": "117502572828225324",
  "account": "realDonaldTrump",
  "displayName": "Donald J. Trump",
  "createdAt": "2026-10-25T16:49:33.086Z",
  "text": "FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas...",
  "url": "https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/117502572828225324",
  "isRepost": false,
  "isReply": false,
  "replies": 1126,
  "reposts": 1642,
  "likes": 5304,
  "media": [],
  "link": null,
  "cashtags": [],
  "marketTopics": [],
  "matchedKeywords": [],
  "language": "en"
}
```

### Uses

- **Trading and prediction markets:** react to market-moving posts on tariffs, the Fed, companies or crypto
- **Newsrooms:** a feed of every post with engagement, for live blogs and fact-checking
- **Research:** a dataset of posts with timestamps and engagement for analysis
- **Pair it with** [Polymarket Market Monitor](https://apify.com/scrapemint/polymarket-market-monitor) or [Kalshi Prediction Market Scraper](https://apify.com/scrapemint/kalshi-prediction-market-scraper) to watch the markets those posts move

### Notes

- `marketTopics` and `matchedKeywords` are word matches on the post text and link title, not sentiment analysis.
- The newest post seen per account is kept in a key-value store named `truth-social-monitor-state` in your own account.
- Engagement counts are as of the moment the post was read.

### Pricing

- **$0.003** per post
- **$0.001** per account checked in a run, so a scheduled poll that finds nothing new costs $0.001
- No start fee.

    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "accounts": [

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "accounts": [
    "realDonaldTrump"
  ]
}' |
apify call scrapemint/truth-social-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapemint/truth-social-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
