# Truth Social Post API

`GET /v1/truth-social/post`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.captapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/truth-social/post`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

One Truth — text, links[], card, reblog/quote chain, media.meta, externalVideoId.

Pass a Truth Social post URL or numeric ID and get the public status as clean JSON (same mapper as user-posts rows): text with unbroken URLs, links[], full author{} (same _normalize_account as /profile, including CP-F flags and raw Mastodon extras), engagement {replies,reblogs,likes,downvotes} (downvotes null when omitted), language from Truth Social's detector (null on empty text), card, media[] with meta/durationSeconds, externalVideoId when the clip is on Rumble, plus reblog/quote/inReplyTo chain fields, mentions[]/tags[], poll, visibility, spoilerText, sponsored, pinned when present. Media URLs on static-assets-1.truthsocial.com are unsigned — no mediaUrlsExpireAt. Session-only favourited/reblogged/muted/bookmarked are omitted. 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 1 credit.
