Truth Social User Posts API
Recent Truths — same post mapper as /post (links, card, reblog/quote, mentions). 2 credits.
GET request to /v1/truth-social/user-posts that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. 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 User Posts API?
Pass a Truth Social @username or profile URL and get recent public posts as clean JSON — same status mapper as /post (not a slim sibling). Full author{} once at the top (same shape as /profile, including CP-F flags); each post keeps a slim author {id,username,displayName,avatar,verified}. text + links[] (unbroken URLs), card, media.meta, externalVideoId→Rumble, engagement {replies,reblogs,likes,downvotes} (likes is favourites/upvotes; downvotes is null when Truth Social omits the key, 0 when it sends 0). language is Truth Social/Mastodon's auto-detect — not Captapi's — and is null on an empty body; short URL-heavy English can be tagged nl/fy upstream. Chain fields when present: reblog{}, quote{}/quoteId, inReplyToId/inReplyToAccountId/inReplyTo{}. Native timeline excludes replies; reblogs and quotes still appear. Pagination: native emits nextCursor (Mastodon max_id) when the statuses page is full (~20), the Link header has rel=next, or author.postCount > totalReturned — hasMore is true only with a cursor. The extended path cannot page: hasMore true, nextCursor null, truncatedReason=single_page_only when author.postCount > totalReturned. Media URLs on static-assets-1.truthsocial.com are unsigned (no mediaUrlsExpireAt). 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 2 credits.
What you get
- Native max_id cursor on a full ~20-row page (not hasMore false next to postCount 36k)
- truncatedReason=single_page_only on the extended path
- language is upstream; downvotes null if omitted
- Same mapper as /post (links/card/media.meta/externalVideoId)

Response structure
A successful call returns success and a data object with the following fields:
Top-level fields
usernameAccount username / handle.requestedThe limit you sent.totalReturnedNumber of items returned in this response.nextCursorCursor to pass for the next page of results. May be null when the platform does not expose deep pagination (e.g. some Facebook Ad Library searches).hasMoreWhether more results are available beyond this page. When true, pass nextCursor to fetch the next page.truncatedReasonnull on the native path. single_page_only when the extended path cannot paginate and author.postCount > totalReturned (hasMore true, nextCursor null).
Author
The author object contains:
platformAlways "truth_social" on this endpoint (posts[].platform).idId of this author item.usernameAccount username / handle.urlCanonical URL of the item.displayNameDisplay name of the account. Canonical across profile endpoints (prefer over name).bioProfile bio. Canonical across profile endpoints (prefer over description on YouTube).avatarAvatar / profile picture URL. Canonical across profile endpoints.bannerBanner / cover image URL. Canonical across profile endpoints.verifiedWhether the account is verified on this platform.followersFollower count.followingNumber of accounts followed.postCountTotal posts/statuses/videos for the account. Canonical across profile endpoints (prefer over posts / videoCount / tweetCount).followersIsApproximateTrue when followers was parsed from a compact Facebook chrome label (e.g. 28M) rather than an exact integer.followingIsApproximateFollowing is approximate. Example: false.postCountIsApproximatePost count is approximate. Example: false.locationLocation shown on the profile or item.websiteWebsite listed on the profile.createdAtCreation date (ISO 8601).lastStatusAtTop-level author's last status time as ISO-8601 UTC (date-only upstream → midnight Z).botTop-level author bot flag when present.isPrivateTop-level author isPrivate (upstream locked) when the account payload is rich.groupAuthor.group on the top-level card; posts[].group when the status itself is a group post.discoverableDiscoverable.acceptingMessagesAccepting messages. Example: false.rawRaw upstream payload for advanced use (fields may change). Prefer the normalized top-level fields when available.
Posts
Each item in posts contains:
platformAlways "truth_social" on this endpoint (posts[].platform).idId of this posts item.urlCanonical URL of the item.textPlain text from the status HTML. <a href> is replaced by the real URL so Truth Social span soft-wraps do not insert spaces into links.publishedAtPublish date (ISO 8601) when the platform exposes an absolute timestamp.authorTop-level: full profile card (same _normalize_account as /profile). On each post: slim {id, username, displayName, avatar, verified} only — stats live once at the top.engagementEngagement metrics for the item.languageTruth Social/Mastodon auto-detect, passed through. Not Captapi-classified. Empty text → null. Short URL-heavy English is often tagged nl/fy upstream — do not treat language as a country filter.sensitiveWhether the content is flagged sensitive.mediaMedia attached to the item.linksAuthoritative http(s) URLs from <a href> attributes (deduped). Prefer this over regex on text.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| url | string | Yes | Truth Social profile URL or @username. The URL platform must match this endpoint's platform. Do not pass cross-platform URLs, e.g. YouTube to TikTok, Instagram to Facebook, LinkedIn to X/Twitter, or Pinterest to Rumble. |
| limit | integer | No | Max posts to return (default 20, max 80). Truth Social's statuses page is ~20 items — a full page returns nextCursor. On the extended path hasMore can be true with nextCursor null (truncatedReason=single_page_only). Flat 2 credits. |
| cursor | string | No | Pagination cursor. Leave empty for the first page; then pass the nextCursor value returned in the previous response. |
| cache | boolean | No | Set true to serve from the 24h response cache (0 credits on hit). Default false — always fetch fresh. |
Authentication: send your key as Authorization: Bearer capt_live_.... A typical call costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh.

Use cases
Public-Figure Monitoring
Track posting cadence for prominent Truth Social accounts that remain public.
Link Extraction
Use links[] (and card.url) for real destinations — not span-broken text URLs.
Rumble Handoff
When externalVideoId is set, call Captapi Rumble video-details for streams and comments.
Auth-Gated Awareness
Most non-prominent handles require auth and 404 — not a general creator catalog.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Truth Social User Posts API do?+
The Truth Social User Posts API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from a public Truth Social post using one GET request to /v1/truth-social/user-posts. It returns clean JSON — no OAuth or infrastructure setup required.
How many credits does the Truth Social User Posts API cost?+
Each successful call costs 2 credits. 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 User Posts 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.
