TL;DR

One Truth — text, links[], card, reblog/quote chain, media.meta, externalVideoId. Flat 1 credit. The Truth Social Post API (Truth Social) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/truth-social/post that responds with clean JSON and costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the Truth Social Post API?

Pass a Truth Social post URL or numeric ID and get the public status as clean JSON (same mapper as user-posts rows): text with unbroken URLs, links[], full author{} (same _normalize_account as /profile, including CP-F flags and raw Mastodon extras), engagement {replies,reblogs,likes,downvotes} (downvotes null when omitted), language from Truth Social's detector (null on empty text), card, media[] with meta/durationSeconds, externalVideoId when the clip is on Rumble, plus reblog/quote/inReplyTo chain fields, mentions[]/tags[], poll, visibility, spoilerText, sponsored, pinned when present. Media URLs on static-assets-1.truthsocial.com are unsigned — no mediaUrlsExpireAt. Session-only favourited/reblogged/muted/bookmarked are omitted. As of late 2025, Truth Social only lets you view public profiles/posts of prominent users (e.g. Trump, Vance) without authentication; most other accounts require auth and will 404 here. Flat 1 credit.

What you get

Post fields as clean structured JSON
IDs, URLs, and titles where the platform exposes them

Frequently asked questions

What does the Truth Social Post API do?+

The Truth Social Post API lets you fetch full metadata and key stats from a public Truth Social post using one GET request to /v1/truth-social/post. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.

How many credits does the Truth Social Post API cost?+

Each successful call costs 1 credit. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Failed or empty results are never charged.

Do I need a Truth Social API key or OAuth?+

No. A single Captapi key works across every platform Captapi supports — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Rumble, Spotify, Kwai, and more. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and authentication for you.

Why was hasMore false next to author.postCount 36380?+

That was a pagination bug on user-posts: we only set nextCursor when the page filled min(limit, 40). Truth Social's statuses page is ~20 rows, so a default-limit 200 looked finished. Native now emits a max_id cursor on a full/20-row page, from the Mastodon Link header, or when author.postCount > totalReturned (a short page next to 36k posts is not the end). hasMore is true only when nextCursor is present. The extended path cannot page — then hasMore is true, nextCursor is null, and truncatedReason is single_page_only. postCount includes replies; the native feed excludes them, so a later empty page is the real end.

Is language yours or Truth Social's?+

Truth Social's (Mastodon auto-detect). We pass it through and set null on an empty body. We do not run our own classifier, so a short English sentence plus a URL tagged nl is upstream, not a Captapi bug. Do not filter a country dataset on this field.

Why is downvotes 0 on every row?+

When the key is present we pass the integer through — 0 stays 0, we do not collapse it with or. When Truth Social omits downvotes_count the field is null. A page of zeros means the key was present as 0; treat it as unverified if you need downvote analytics.

Why is discoverable null among populated booleans?+

Mastodon's discoverable is nullable. null means Truth Social omitted the field (typical on public figures). false is an explicit no. That is not the same bug as a missing mapped flag.

Do Truth Social media URLs expire?+

No. static-assets-1.truthsocial.com links carry no signature and no oe= parameter. mediaUrlsExpireAt is omitted on purpose — persist the URL. Instagram and TikTok CDN links are the ones that die.

Is the Truth Social Post API suitable for production use?+

Yes. It is a stable REST endpoint with predictable JSON and automatic retries. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Selected profile endpoints also accept cacheMaxAge=1d|3d|7d|14d|30d. Use it for analytics, monitoring, and content automation.
