Truth Social Launches API for Business Access to Posts

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind the Truth Social platform, has announced plans to sell access to posts through a new API. Available from August 1, the Truth API will provide businesses with real-time access to posts from “the highest-ranking Truth Social accounts” — a direct pipeline from President Donald Trump’s favorite social media site to those trying to make investment decisions based on his posts.

According to TMTG, the API uses industry-standard delivery methods, delivering posts in milliseconds. It is expected to offer continuous 24/7 coverage and includes a historical archive of posts dating back to 2022. Other social media platforms have previously offered free or paid API access, but Twitter (now X) closed free access in 2023 shortly after being acquired by Elon Musk.

TMTG CEO Kevin McGurn noted the difference: “markets already move on Truth Social posts.” One likely reason is Truth Social’s most popular user, President Trump. He is a majority shareholder and the platform’s most followed user, with approximately 12.9 million followers as of July 2026. Trump frequently announces major policies and government actions via Truth Social before they reach official channels.

TMTG expects that offering unfettered access to posts will become “a meaningful, ongoing source of revenue,” creating lasting value for shareholders, including Trump’s family. If that doesn’t work, the company also merged with a nuclear fusion business last year.
