Trump Media and Technology Group launched a new paid data service called 'Truth API' on August 1, 2026. This service provides clients with faster access to posts from President Donald Trump and other prominent accounts on Truth Social. Interim CEO Kevin McGurn stated that the API offers a direct, licensed, real-time feed of significant posts from the platform. The @realDonaldTrump account, which has 13 million followers, is the largest on Truth Social and often shares important policy updates. Trump's family is the largest shareholder in Trump Media, the company operating Truth Social. The launch has drawn scrutiny from Democratic Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren, who have requested an investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding potential legal violations. The SEC has not commented on this request. McGurn emphasized that the API aims to monetize the platform's assets through a recurring revenue model.
