Truth Social launches 'Truth API' to sell faster access to posts

techJul 16, 2026482,312

Trump Media & Technology Group said on Thursday that Truth Social will sell a paid data feed called Truth API that gives institutional customers real-time access to posts from the platform’s top 10, ranking accounts beginning August 1. The company said the feed will deliver posts "in milliseconds" to clients such as high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms, though the company did not disclose pricing. Interim TMTG CEO Kevin McGurn described Truth API as a "direct, licensed, real-time feed" that monetizes the platform’s most market-moving posts and adds a recurring revenue stream. CNN has reported that President Donald Trump has used Truth Social to make market-moving announcements and has promoted more than 20 companies on the platform days after buying their stock. The article notes past examples of Trump posts moving oil markets around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz and tweets about tariffs in spring 2025 that briefly swung stock prices. Trump owns about 41% of Trump Media through a revocable trust; the company’s stock rose 0.6% on Thursday but is down about 27% this year. CNN said Truth Social previously warned that scraping its data violates its terms of service and framed the API as the latest instance of a business tied to the president monetizing his White House tenure.

Trump Media plans to charge trading firms for access to Trump’s Truth Social posts milliseconds before they appear publicly, the FT reports. The product, Truth API, is aimed at firms that rely on ultra-fast data to trade in markets that are often moved by those posts.

"Truth API is designed for organizations most impacted by the cost of a delay in information. This includes high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms that require a low-latency, machine-readable feed rather than manual tracking."
