User posts

An account's latest posts and ReTruths, newest first, 20 per page.

1 credit per callFresh within 2 minutesMCP tool: truthsocial_user_posts

GEThttps://api.lurkapi.com/v1/truthsocial/user/posts

When to use this

Use it to monitor an account: every post with text, media, link previews and reply, ReTruth and like counts. Replies are left out; ReTruths are included, with the original post in reblog.

Pass handle or user_id (from profile). user_id skips a lookup, but both cost the same.

Pagination. Pass the response's next_max_id back as next_max_id (with the same account) for older posts. It's null once a page comes back empty.

Unknown accounts return 404 not_found. Accounts hidden from logged-out visitors return 403 not_public. When Truth Social doesn't say whether an account is hidden or missing, you get 404 not_found. Prominent accounts and most other public ones are visible.

Example request

Copy one and replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key (get one free). The code versions read the key from the LURKAPI_API_KEY environment variable instead.

curl "https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/truthsocial/user/posts?handle=realDonaldTrump" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Paste it into a terminal, with your key in place of YOUR_API_KEY.

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  handle: "realDonaldTrump",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/truthsocial/user/posts?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.LURKAPI_API_KEY },
});
const data = await res.json();
if (!data.success) throw new Error(`${data.code}: ${data.error}`);
console.log(data.posts);

Node 18+. Save it as lurk.mjs and run node lurk.mjs. It reads your key from LURKAPI_API_KEY.

Cost and freshness

Each call costs 1 credit. Calls turned away before they reach the platform (invalid parameters, a key or balance problem, a rate limit) are free, and so are 5xx errors. A not_found is charged, since the platform was checked. How charging works.

Answers are cached for up to 2 minutes. A repeat call within that time can return the same data, and costs the same.

Errors

A failed call returns success: false, an error message, a code your program can check, and a docs link. These are the errors this endpoint can return. All error codes.

Status	Code	Meaning
401	`missing_api_key`	No API key was sent. Put it in the `x-api-key` header.
401	`invalid_api_key`	This key doesn't exist or was revoked.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Not enough credits for this call. Buy a pack, or wait for tomorrow's free top-up.
402	`over_max_credits`	This call would cost more than the `max_credits` you set. The error says what it needs; raise `max_credits` to allow it. Not charged.
403	`account_suspended`	This account is suspended. Email support@lurkapi.com. Not charged.
403	`not_public`	The platform shows this account or post only to people who are logged in. Try a public one. Charged, since the platform was checked.
404	`not_found`	What you asked for (a post, an ad, a subreddit) doesn't exist, or there's no endpoint at that path. Charged if the platform was checked.
405	`method_not_allowed`	Endpoints only take `GET`, with parameters in the URL.
429	`rate_limited`	Too many calls in a short time. Wait as many seconds as the `retry-after` header says, then retry.
500	`internal_error`	Something broke on our side. Retry. Not charged.
502	`upstream_error`	The platform didn't send a usable answer. Retry. Not charged.
503	`upstream_busy`	All our connections to the platform are busy. Retry in a few seconds. Not charged.
504	`upstream_timeout`	The platform took over 30 seconds to answer (90 for web pages). Retry. Not charged.

Use it in Claude

Connect LurkAPI to Claude and ask in plain English. This endpoint is the truthsocial_user_posts tool. For example:

Ask Claude

Use LurkAPI's truthsocial_user_posts tool with handle "realDonaldTrump", then summarize what you find.

Claude calls truthsocial_user_posts with arguments like these, and each call costs 1 credit:

Tool arguments

{"handle": "realDonaldTrump"}

To save tokens, tool results leave out empty fields, keep one URL per image or video, and give transcripts as plain text unless you pass timestamps=true. A result over 45,000 characters comes in parts. Its _note gives the offset for the next part, and later parts are free for 15 minutes. Pass trim=false for the full response.
