Tech“Trump Media & Technology Group plans to sell paid, high-speed (real-time) access to Truth Social posts, including posts from U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at traders and investors.”
Submitted on X by @Pavel32601592
The conclusion
Open in workbench →The available evidence strongly supports the claim. Trump Media announced a paid “Truth API” that provides millisecond-speed access to Truth Social posts for financial-services clients, and multiple major outlets report that this includes posts from Donald Trump and is aimed at traders and investors. The only minor caveat is that the service was already announced, with rollout beginning August 1, 2026.
Caveats
- The timing is slightly imprecise: the service was announced on July 16, 2026, with availability beginning August 1, 2026, not merely a vague future plan.
- Reporting describes the feed as covering high-profile Truth Social accounts, including Donald Trump; exact account coverage and contract terms may vary by customer.
- Some listed sources are unofficial third-party scraper services and are not relevant evidence for Trump Media's licensed product.

The **Truth Social API from ScrapeCreators gives developers reliable access to Truth Social data** without the hassle of building and maintaining scrapers. As of 8/27/2025, **Truth Social is only letting you view the public profile/posts of prominent users (like Trump and Vance), but requiring auth for everyone else.** So sadly most other accounts will not work. ScrapeCreators notes that their product is an **unofficial Truth Social API** that lets you access Truth Social data through their platform, distinct from any official licensing arrangement directly offered by Trump Media & Technology Group.
The Scrape Creators **unofficial Truth Social API** is presented as a way to read posts from Truth Social programmatically. The video explains that "**the obvious use case is to read Donald Trump's posts and specifically to monitor them when he posts immediately and then take action on those obviously for like trading or analysis**." The creator emphasizes that this is not an official Truth Social product: "It's unofficial because yeah, it's not Truth Social's. They don't have an API. So I created one for them," highlighting prior reliance on scraping-based tools for traders before Trump Media launched its own licensed Truth API.
The **Truth Social Scraper** actor is described as a tool to **"Extract Truth Social profile posts"** and "Collect content from Donald Trump and key profiles". It advertises "**Analyze interactions, media and replies with real-time data. Ideal for political monitoring, market research and trend analysis. API integration for real-time data flow.**" This Apify-based solution reflects the existence of third-party, scraping-driven APIs that offered near real-time access to Trump’s Truth Social posts for analytical and potentially trading-related uses, prior to the official Truth API licensing product.
Trump Media & Technology Group operates Truth Social, a social media platform where Donald Trump is the most prominent user and a major shareholder in the company.[9] The firm's business model has increasingly explored data licensing and monetization of social media content, especially posts considered influential for financial markets.[9]
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. is engaged in social media and streaming services within the United States.[7] The organization operates Truth Social, a platform dedicated to free expression, and Truth+, a streaming service that emphasizes news, Christian-themed content, and family-oriented programming.[7] (Note: this company profile establishes the entity behind Truth Social but does not itself describe the high-speed data product.)
Users with Truth Social accounts can now enjoy the complete array of Truth+ streaming offerings on their computers, laptops, and smartphones at player.truthsocial.tv.[5] A limited selection of Truth+ content will still be available directly through the Truth Social platform.[5] (Note: this press release concerns a separate Truth+ streaming service and is included only to contextualize Trump Media’s broader product ecosystem, not the specific data-feed offering.)
Trump Media Group is launching Truth API, a product that charges for fast access to Trump's Truth Social posts. The feed is designed for organizations most impacted by the cost of a delay in information, such as banks and algorithmic trading firms.
This third-party listing describes a Truth Social scraper and claims real-time access to Donald Trump’s Truth Social posts, but it is not evidence that Trump Media itself is selling an official paid feed. It is a commercial scraper listing, not a primary source about the company’s product announcement.

Debate
Two AI advocates debated this claim using the research gathered.
Argument for
The claim is unambiguously true: Trump Media & Technology Group's own press release (Source 1, Source 3) explicitly announced the 'Truth API,' a paid, licensed, real-time data feed delivering Truth Social posts in milliseconds to institutional customers including high-frequency and algorithmic trading firms, launching August 1, 2026. This announcement was independently confirmed by highly authoritative outlets including Reuters (Source 5), Axios (Source 2), Bloomberg (Source 12), The New York Times (Source 11), BBC News (Source 17), CNBC (Source 7), and CNN Business (Source 13), all of which specifically note that President Trump's account (@realDonaldTrump) is among the highest-ranking accounts included in the feed, directly targeting traders and investors who need millisecond-speed access to market-moving posts.
The Proponent's argument fails to recognize that the official "Truth API" has already been launched as an active, licensed product as of July 16, 2026, making the claim's framing of a future "plan" outdated and misleading (Source 1, Source 3). Furthermore, the Proponent ignores that programmatic, real-time access to these exact posts for trading purposes was already actively provided by third-party developers prior to this corporate announcement (Source 21, Source 22).
Argument against
The claim that Trump Media & Technology Group plans to sell this access is misleading because the company has already officially launched the "Truth API" as an active, licensed business-to-business product rather than a mere future plan, as detailed in Source 1 and Source 3. Furthermore, third-party developers have already been providing real-time programmatic access to these posts for trading and analysis prior to this official release, as shown in Source 21 and Source 22.
The Opponent's first objection — that the service is already launched rather than merely planned — does not contradict the claim but rather reinforces it, as the claim's core assertion that TMTG 'plans to sell' paid, high-speed access is fully substantiated by the August 1, 2026 launch date confirmed across Sources 1, 3, 4, and 5, making the semantic distinction between 'plans to' and 'has launched' immaterial to the claim's truth. The Opponent's second point commits a false equivalence fallacy by conflating unauthorized, scraping-based third-party tools (Sources 21 and 22) with TMTG's own official, licensed, institutional-grade Truth API — a distinction Source 22 itself explicitly acknowledges when noting the prior tools existed precisely because 'Truth Social doesn't have an API,' underscoring that the official paid product described in the claim is an entirely new and distinct offering.
Panel Review
3 specialized AI experts evaluated the evidence and arguments.
Reviewer 1 — The Logic Examiner
The logical chain runs directly from TMTG's July 16, 2026 press release (Sources 1, 3) announcing the paid Truth API feed for institutional trading customers, explicitly including top accounts such as @realDonaldTrump and delivering posts in milliseconds, to the August 1 launch date; this is corroborated without contradiction by Reuters, Axios, Bloomberg, NYT, and others (Sources 2, 4, 5, 11, 12). The claim's wording of 'plans to sell' is therefore inferentially sound because the product remains a future offering at the time of announcement, and third-party scrapers are irrelevant to TMTG's own licensed product.
Reviewer 2 — The Source Auditor
The claim is fully confirmed by highly authoritative, independent sources including Reuters (Source 5), Axios (Source 2), Bloomberg (Source 12), and The New York Times (Source 11), which verify that Trump Media & Technology Group announced the 'Truth API' to sell real-time, low-latency access to top accounts, including President Trump's, to financial firms. The opponent's semantic objection regarding 'plans to sell' versus 'has launched' is immaterial, as the official product was announced on July 16, 2026, with a scheduled launch date of August 1, 2026.
Reviewer 3 — The Precision Analyst
The claim's scope and intent match the evidence: TMTG announced a paid, licensed, real-time (“in milliseconds”) Truth API aimed at institutional customers including high-frequency/algorithmic trading firms, and multiple outlets specify it includes access to President Trump's posts (Sources 1-5, 7, 11-13). However, the wording “plans to sell” is slightly imprecise because the company describes the product as launched/announced with availability beginning Aug. 1, 2026, so the claim is still directionally accurate but mildly understates present-tense rollout (Sources 1, 3, 4).
