What does Truth Social + Rumble Monitor do?

This actor monitors public statements and supporting videos across Truth Social and Rumble in one unified stream. Pass Truth Social handles or topic queries plus Rumble channel URLs or search terms; get back three record types in one dataset:

1. truth_social_post, public Truth Social posts with full Mastodon-compatible metadata: post ID, account handle + display name + verified flag, content (HTML + plain text), media attachments, hashtags, mentions, ISO 8601 created-at, engagement counts (replies, reblogs, favorites)

2. rumble_video, public Rumble videos with title, channel, channel verified flag, description, view count, like count, comment count, duration, ISO 8601 published-at, video URL, embed URL, thumbnail

3. cross_platform_link, emitted when a Truth Social post links to a Rumble video (auto-detected by URL match), so you can correlate a public statement with its supporting video

Watchlist mode (watchlistMode: true) makes this scraper schedulable. State persists across runs.

Why scrape Truth Social + Rumble?

Truth Social and Rumble are where a meaningful slice of conservative political discourse, alt-platform news, and Trump-orbit statements happen in real time. News desks watching Trump posts, OSINT analysts on election cycles, brand-safety teams checking alt-platform mentions, and academic researchers building discourse corpora all monitor both platforms, usually in two browser tabs.

This actor merges them into one feed and auto-detects when a Truth Social post links to a Rumble video, so a journalist sees the statement and the supporting video correlated in the same record instead of stitching them by hand. Watchlist mode keeps daily schedules clean: only NEW posts and videos since the last run, no duplicates.

• OSINT and election analysts monitoring public statements + supporting videos in one pipeline
• Brand and reputation monitoring teams surfacing mentions across Truth Social + Rumble
• Academic researchers building corpora of alt-platform public discourse

FAQ

How does Truth Social + Rumble Monitor work?

Truth Social uses a Mastodon-compatible API (clean JSON, no auth). Rumble has no public API; this actor uses HTTP fetches with Apify residential proxy + JSON-LD parse from Rumble's public pages.

What's reliability like for Rumble?

Rumble has variable anti-bot blocking via Cloudflare; expect ~70-90% pass rate using Apify residential. ZenRows or similar vendor unblocker is on the v0.2 roadmap.

Can I monitor for new content only?

Yes. Set watchlistMode: true. The actor stores seen post + video IDs and emits only records new since the last run.

Can I correlate a Truth Social post with a Rumble video?

Yes, that's the cross_platform_link record type. When a Truth Social post body links to a rumble.com URL, the actor emits a separate cross-link record.

Can I get historical content beyond the recent feed?

This actor reads the live feeds. Truth Social's API exposes account history; Rumble's search returns recent results only. For deep historical pulls, increase maxItemsPerSource and paginate.

Can I use this with the Apify API?

Yes. POST to https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/skootle~truthsocial-rumble-monitor/runs.

Can I integrate with Make / Zapier / n8n / Slack?

Yes. Click Integrations on the actor page.

Is the data delayed?

Truth Social: live, < 1 minute lag. Rumble: live, < 5 minutes lag.

Why does this actor cost more than free TS / Rumble scrapers?

Cross-platform unified format saves you writing two parsers, one for Truth Social and one for Rumble, plus the link-correlation glue between them. Watchlist mode, ISO timestamps, numeric engagement counts, and ready-to-paste LLM summaries are included. Free scrapers leave the integration work on your desk.
