Trump Media, the firm behind Truth Social, will sell Wall Street quicker entry to the most market-moving posts on the platform used by the US President. On Thursday, the company revealed plans for Truth API, a paid real-time data feed aimed at businesses seeking the quickest look at influential accounts. The service starts August 1.

Comparable APIs appear on other networks, yet this version carries notable conflicts of interest. Trump Media has not revealed pricing, but gains could reach the Trump family as the top shareholders in the public firm.

Interim CEO Kevin McGurn stated that markets already shift on Truth Social posts and that the firm sees Truth API as a steady revenue stream going forward.

President Donald Trump leads in followers on Truth Social and often shares official notes there first before other sites. He has 12.9 million followers, while accounts tied to his sons, FBI director Kash Patel, and the White House also draw millions.

Truth API relies on standard industry methods to send posts in milliseconds, the company said. It will run around the clock and hold an archive of posts back to 2022.
