Trump Media launches paid Truth API for real-time access to Truth Social posts

Trump Media & Technology Group is preparing to launch its Truth API on Aug. 1, offering banks, hedge funds, trading firms and other professional users licensed real-time, including millisecond-level, access to public Truth Social posts that can move markets. The company has marketed the service at $100,000 a month, with the Financial Times reporting that institutional clients, including high-frequency algorithmic trading firms, are being offered faster delivery of posts from President Donald Trump’s Truth Social account and other influential accounts. Trump Media has said the feed already has signed customers, will cover the platform’s 10 most influential accounts and archive posts back to 2022. The service is designed for machine-readable analysis and is aimed at firms with the most to lose from delayed information, while also addressing what Trump Media says has been unauthorized scraping of Truth Social data. The commercial appeal centers on Donald Trump’s account, whose posts have repeatedly jolted markets, including during recent Iran war tensions and in an April 9, 2025 message saying he would pause many new tariffs for 90 days that helped send U.S. stocks sharply higher within minutes. Trump holds about 41% of Trump Media through a revocable trust, intensifying conflict-of-interest concerns that market-moving presidential remarks could be tied to company profit as institutional investors gain faster access than ordinary users.
