Trump Media & Technology Group is launching Truth API, a paid, real-time data feed of posts from Truth Social's top accounts, including President Trump himself. The service is set to go live on August 1, 2026, and already has its first customers in financial services and trading, according to CoinGape and Value the Markets.
The product marks TMTG's first serious push into data licensing — a new revenue stream beyond ads and subscriptions. The company is also in talks to license the data to AI companies for model training, signaling the ambition goes well beyond Wall Street.
What Truth API Is and How It Works
Truth API is a backend data feed that delivers posts in milliseconds using industry-standard, machine-readable formats. According to CoinGape, it offers 24/7 coverage and an archive of posts dating back to 2022. That archive gives traders and analysts a deep historical record to work with from day one.
The feed covers Trump's posts and those from other senior Truth Social accounts. Interim CEO Kevin McGurn said the product delivers a "fast, low-latency feed" built for high-frequency and algorithmic traders — firms that need market-moving information in seconds, not minutes.
Replacing Scraping With a Licensed, Paid Product
Right now, many firms that track Truth Social posts do so by scraping the platform — pulling data without permission. Truth API replaces that with a formal, licensed product, according to KRRO. That shift gives TMTG control over who gets access and how much they pay for it.
1065 The Buzz reported that the service targets businesses tracking influential voices for real-time decision-making. By charging for what was previously free to scrape, TMTG turns a leaky data problem into a recurring revenue line.
AI Licensing Push Expands the Revenue Play
TMTG is not stopping at finance. The company is actively in talks to license Truth API data for AI model training, according to Value the Markets. That puts it in the same space as X, Reddit, and other platforms that have turned their post archives into AI training deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The company plans to onboard more partners in the weeks ahead, CoinGape reported. With Trump's posts alone capable of moving markets, the data has clear value. The only question is how many firms will pay — and how much.
A Strategic Shift for a Company That Needed One
TMTG has long depended on ad revenue and subscriptions from Truth Social. Those streams are modest compared to larger platforms. Truth API is designed to change that by adding a third, enterprise-grade revenue line built around the single most valuable asset the platform has — Trump's posts.
WNFL Sports noted the service is aimed at those who track the highest-ranking individuals for business decisions. If the August 2026 launch goes smoothly and more partners sign on, Truth API could quietly become TMTG's most stable source of income — one that scales without needing more users.
