⇱ Tracking Truth Social posts in real time (no official API) - DEV Community


There is no official Truth Social developer API. The platform never shipped public read endpoints, so anything that tracks Truth Social posts programmatically is either a scraper you run yourself, a pay-per-call scraping service, or a managed real-time feed.

This post covers the real-time option: a WebSocket that pushes new truths the moment they post, instead of polling a profile on a timer. Working Python client (MIT): https://github.com/SisoSol/truthsocial-stream

Why real-time matters here

Truth Social is where a lot of market-moving posts land first. Polling every few seconds adds delay and burns requests; a WebSocket delivers the post as soon as it is detected, which is what prediction-market and trading workflows need.

The event

Each message is a JSON object:

{"platform":"truth","handle":"realDonaldTrump","content":"A GREAT day for America. Big news coming!","timestamp":"2026-06-16T12:00:00Z"}

Get an API key and your WebSocket path from the dashboard at 1322.io. Full guide, cost comparison, and event schema: https://1322.io/blog/truth-social-api-guide

The same managed feed also carries X, Instagram, YouTube, Binance Square and news over one WebSocket, so you are not stitching a scraper per platform.
