The Truth Social API Costs a Reported $100,000 a Month. Here's the Alternative.

Trump Media sells priority access to Truth Social posts to trading firms. If you are not a hedge fund, you do not need it. Follow Trump's Truth delivers the same posts to your inbox, browser, or server in seconds — from $5.99 a month.

What is the official Truth Social API?

In mid-2026, Trump Media & Technology Group began offering financial firms priority access to posts on Truth Social. Reuters reported a fee of approximately $100,000 per month, with a faster tier reported higher. The BBC and CBS News subsequently reported that more than ten firms had signed up.

The product is aimed squarely at high-frequency trading desks, where receiving a market-moving post fractionally earlier carries real financial value. It has also drawn significant scrutiny: Senate Democrats asked the SEC to investigate the arrangement, and the City of San Francisco filed suit in September 2026 seeking to stop it.

Crucially, it is an enterprise data contract, not a self-serve developer API. There is no public sign-up page, no free tier, and no realistic path to access for an individual, a newsroom, a researcher, or a small business.

Side-by-side comparison

The two products solve different problems. One is a latency edge for traders. The other makes sure you never miss a post.

Pricing shown for the institutional feed reflects published news reporting, not a quote we have received. We make no claim about its delivery speed relative to ours — it is sold as a low-latency trading product and its performance is not public.

Delivered in seconds, not minutes

A dedicated streaming connection picks up new posts as they appear, with independent RSS polling as a continuous backup so a single failure cannot cause a missed post. Notifications go out immediately afterwards — posts reach your inbox, browser, or webhook endpoint moments after they go live on Truth Social.

We measure delivery latency for every channel and publish it rather than asking you to take our word for it.

For developers: webhooks instead of an API key

Most people searching for a “Truth Social API” want one specific thing: their own code to run when Trump posts. Our Professional plan does exactly that — a push-based webhook rather than a feed you have to poll.

  • Real-time HTTP POST to your own endpoint
  • HMAC-SHA256 signatures on every request
  • Automatic retries with a per-endpoint circuit breaker
  • Fully customizable payload templates
  • Up to 3 endpoints, with a test sandbox
  • Delivery activity logs
