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 handles in username (e.g., realDonaldTrump). You may omit the @ — it’s handled automatically.
4. Set maxItems to control how many posts to collect per profile (default 20; 1–10,000).
5. (Optional) Use firstPostId to start paging older than a given post ID and lastPostId to stop at/below a specific post ID.
6. (Optional) Configure proxyConfiguration. The actor always uses the RESIDENTIAL group; your selection here only affects credentials/account usage.
7. Click Start. Posts will stream into the Dataset as they’re fetched — watch progress live in the Output tab.
8. Export your results to CSV or JSON from the Dataset for use in analytics, research, or downstream pipelines.

Pro tip: For legacy workflows, an urls array can be used in JSON input. You can also automate runs via the Apify API and schedule repeat jobs for Truth Social profile monitoring or post archiving.

FAQ

Do I need to log in or provide cookies?

No. The scraper works with publicly available profile feeds and does not require login or session cookies.

How many posts can I scrape per profile?

You can control volume with maxItems from 1 to 10,000. Set a higher value for deeper timelines, or leave at the default (20) for quick snapshots.

Can I export Truth Social posts to CSV or JSON?

Yes. Results are stored in an Apify Dataset and can be exported to CSV or JSON with a single click or via API.

Does it support multiple profiles in one run?

Yes. Provide multiple handles in the username array and the actor will process them in the same run.

Will it capture quotes and replies?

Yes. When enrichment is enabled (enrichRelations=true), the actor fetches quoted and parent posts where available and adds them to quote and in_reply_to fields.

What about proxies — do I need to configure them?

Proxy configuration is optional, but the actor always uses Apify RESIDENTIAL proxies under the hood. Your proxy settings determine credentials/account usage, not the proxy group.

Can I target a specific slice of a timeline?

Yes. Use firstPostId to start paging older than a given post and lastPostId to stop at/below a specific boundary for precise ranges.

Yes, when used responsibly on publicly available data and in compliance with platform terms and applicable laws. Consult your legal team for specific requirements.
