How to Get Trump's Truth Social Posts in Discord or Python (2026)

The speed ladder

For casual following, the free tiers are fine. For prediction markets the difference between a pushed event and a 30-second poll is the whole game, odds on the relevant Polymarket/Kalshi markets typically finish moving within the first minute. There is also now an official institutional lane: Trump Media's Truth API has been live since August 1, 2026, streaming 10 high-profile accounts to licensed financial-services partners at $60,000 to $100,000 per month (Fortune, August 12, 2026). It has no public sign-up, does not cover arbitrary accounts, and is unaffiliated with 1322, which neither sells nor resells it.

Trump Truth Social Discord bot (no code)

1. Subscribe to the Truth Social monitoring feed and add @realDonaldTrump (and any other accounts, cabinet members, campaign accounts, journalists) to your tracked list.
2. Link the Discord bot included in Truth Social plans to your server: posts arrive as formatted cards the moment they are detected, retruths and quote chains included. Telegram routing is available depending on account configuration.
3. Optional: add the news feed in the same workspace, a post corroborated by a matching headline within seconds is a much stronger trading signal than either alone.

Truth Social API in Python (~25 lines)

For your own bot, consume the Truth Social WebSocket (a $150/month add-on on Truth plans) and act on each event in code. Every message is a Truth Social post object, with retruth and quote flags and the quote chain resolved.

import asyncio, json, os
import websockets

WS_URL = os.environ["WS_URL"]      # wss://truth.1322.io/<ws_path>?key=<ws_key> from /api-access
WATCH = {"realdonaldtrump"}        # lowercase handles you care about


async def run():
    while True:
        try:
            async with websockets.connect(WS_URL) as ws:
                async for raw in ws:
                    e = json.loads(raw)
                    if e.get("platform") != "truth":
                        continue
                    if str(e.get("username", "")).lower() not in WATCH:
                        continue
                    kind = "RETRUTH" if e.get("is_retruth") else ("QUOTE" if e.get("is_quote") else "POST")
                    print(f"[{e.get('timestamp')}] {kind}: {e.get('text', '')[:200]}")
                    # -> place order / send alert / match against your markets
        except Exception as exc:
            print(f"reconnecting ({exc})")
            await asyncio.sleep(1)


asyncio.run(run())

Same consumer pattern works for every platform, ready-made examples: truthsocial-stream on GitHub. Background on the official institutional Truth API, why there is still no public developer API, and what scrapers can/can't do: the complete Truth Social API guide.
