created_at	ISO timestamp of the post	"2026-04-19T12:12:34.000Z"

content	Post body (HTML)	" Great news today! 🎉 "

• The account object is merged with defaults for consistency: it always contains location, emojis, and fields keys.
• Export your dataset to CSV, JSON, or Excel from the Apify platform to feed BI tools or pipelines (e.g., Truth Social posts to CSV or export Truth Social posts to JSON).

How to use Truth Social Profile Posts Scraper - step by step

1. Create or log in to your Apify account.
2. Open the Truth Social Profile Posts Scraper actor.
3. In Input, add one or more usernames in the username list (handles like realDonaldTrump — “@” optional).
4. Set maxItems to control how many posts you collect per profile (default 20; up to 10,000).
5. (Optional) Set firstPostId and/or lastPostId to page deeper into a specific slice of older posts.
6. (Recommended) Configure proxyConfiguration (the actor always uses the RESIDENTIAL group; your settings determine credentials/account).
7. Click Start. Posts will stream into the dataset as they’re saved. Watch progress in the logs and Output tab.
