What is the Truth API?
"Truth API" most often refers to Trump Media / Truth Social's institutional product: a paid, low-latency feed of Truth Social posts aimed at Wall Street and traders. It is not the same thing as a public Truth Social data API that returns profile and post JSON over REST for any handle you pass.
What the institutional Truth API is
Announced around mid-2026, the institutional Truth API is positioned as market-facing access to Truth Social content — low-latency posts for funds, desks, and similar buyers. Pricing, contracts, and eligibility sit with Trump Media; it is not a self-serve developer key on a public pricing page.
If you are buying latency for trading signals or a firm-wide feed, that product is the one to evaluate with their sales team. Social Fetch does not resell or proxy it.
What public Truth Social data APIs cover instead
Public-data products like Social Fetch accept a public handle or status URL and return structured JSON: profile card, cursor-paginated posts, or a single post. Auth is a Social Fetch API key (x-api-key), not a Truth Social trader contract.
Routes live under /v1/truthsocial — same { data, meta } envelope as TikTok or Instagram, with data.lookupStatus and meta.creditsCharged on every completed lookup.
Which one you actually need
Need institutional low-latency posts for a trading desk? Talk to Trump Media about Truth API.
Need CRM enrichment, monitors, or agents that resolve public @handles and status URLs over REST? Use a public-data API such as Social Fetch — documented on /platforms/truthsocial.
Common mix-ups
Searching "Truth API" and assuming every result is the institutional feed — many threads mean any way to pull Truth Social JSON.
Expecting Social Fetch (or similar REST enrichment) to match institutional latency SLAs — different product, different buyer.
Assuming Truth Social's posting / account APIs grant arbitrary public profile reads — they do not.
What Social Fetch does not do
No institutional Truth API feed, no market-data SLA, no trader-only contract. Public profiles and posts only — private or missing targets return typed lookupStatus.

FAQ
What is the Truth API?
Usually Trump Media's institutional Truth Social feed for traders (paid, low-latency). Not the same as a public REST API for arbitrary profile and post lookups.
Is Social Fetch the same as the Truth API?
No. Social Fetch is third-party public REST enrichment. The institutional Truth API is Trump Media's market-facing product.
Can I get Truth Social posts without the institutional Truth API?
Yes for public content — Social Fetch /v1/truthsocial routes take a handle or status URL and return JSON with a Social Fetch API key.
Does Truth Social have a public developer API for any handle?
Truth Social's first-party surfaces focus on posting and account management. Arbitrary public enrichment is typically a third-party public-data API.
Where are Social Fetch Truth Social routes documented?
/platforms/truthsocial and /docs/api. Walkthrough: /guides/how-to-scrape-truth-social-data.
