## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### FAQ

**How many posts can I get?**
Every public post the account has ever made. Verified with 34,000+ posts from @realDonaldTrump — the complete history back to February 2022.

**Does this require a Truth Social account?**
No. All data comes from public endpoints. No login, no cookies, no authentication.

**Can I scrape private accounts?**
No. Only public accounts are accessible.

**What if a username doesn't exist?**
Invalid usernames are gracefully skipped. The scraper continues to the next username.

**Can I scrape multiple accounts?**
Yes. Provide a list of usernames and they are processed in sequence.

**What's the difference between this and other Truth Social scrapers?**
Other scrapers cap at 20–100 posts per user. This scraper paginates through the complete history — no other scraper gets more than a fraction of what this one delivers.

**Is there a free trial?**
Yes. Every run includes free results so you can verify the data before subscribing.

**What output formats are available?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, XML — all available from the Apify dataset after each run.

## MCP server setup

```json

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
