Truth Social Offers Real-Time Market-Moving Post Access

Trump Media & Technology Group announced on Thursday the upcoming launch of Truth API, a new service designed to provide institutional clients with real-time access to posts from Truth Social. This licensed data feed aims to deliver the fastest possible delivery of content from the platform's top 10 most-influential accounts to paying subscribers. The service is slated for an August 1 launch, with the company having already secured customers ahead of this date, according to a company statement.

APIs, or application programming interfaces, are a standard offering among social media platforms such as X and Reddit. Financial institutions, including hedge funds and Wall Street firms, typically pay for such feeds to gain a competitive advantage by accessing market-moving information before it becomes widely available. Kevin McGurn, interim CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group, stated that markets already react to Truth Social posts and that Truth API will provide a direct, licensed, and real-time feed of the platform's most impactful "Truths."

While the announcement did not explicitly name President Donald Trump, his account is the most popular on Truth Social, boasting 12.9 million followers. Other prominent figures with significant followings and frequent posting habits on the platform include Vice President JD Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. These individuals' posts are likely to be included in the data feed, given their influence.

Details regarding the specific companies that have signed up for the Truth API service and its associated costs were not immediately disclosed. A spokesperson for Trump Media & Technology Group did not respond to a request for comment. However, McGurn informed Axios that the early customers include financial news organizations and high-frequency trading firms, though he did not name them. The information disseminated through Truth API is already accessible through less direct and potentially slower methods, with firms having previously employed various strategies to obtain it.
