How to get Trump Truth Social alerts for your trades — tariffs, the Fed and your tickers

Tutorial for the Apify blog guest program, dev.to, Medium and Hashnode. The owner publishes it and records the URL in brief.json → marketing.links; /actor-marketing refreshes the numbers after the first measured live run.

The problem

When Trump posts about a tariff, the Fed or a company, markets move before most people have read the post. A desk or a trading community that wants to know has two options today: someone refreshes truthsocial.com all day, or a newsroom headline arrives minutes later on a paid terminal. Reading every post by hand to find the one that names your sector costs a person about 2 minutes a post (our estimate, not timed) — and Trump posts about 25 times a day.

Step by step

  1. Open Truth Social Alerts: AI Market Signals from Trump Truth Posts on the Apify Store and click Try it. The form is pre-filled with 6 sample posts and a tariff / Fed / $NVDA watch list; press Start and 3 of them qualify in seconds, nothing charged.
  2. Type the accounts to watch — realDonaldTrump, or pick the Administration watch preset for five accounts in one run — and your watch list: keywords (tariff, export controls), entities ($NVDA, China) or topics.
  3. Press Start. The Actor reads the accounts with a Truth Social scraper on your Apify account (spend-capped), drops reposts, replies and old posts for free, and keeps only the posts that name your watch list.
  4. Open the Shortlist view: newest posts that matter, each with a topic, a market relevance from 0 to 100, the entities it names and a headline you can forward. The Alerts view has a ready-to-post line per post.

The Shortlist view

What a run costs

realDonaldTrump, 50 posts read, about 10 qualify on a tariff / Fed watch list (an estimate until a live run is measured): the source read is $0.25 + $0.0001 on your account, plus 10 × $0.004 here = $0.29, about $0.029 per qualified post all in. With the AI tier: 10 × ($0.01 + ≈ $0.003 tokens) = $0.38. The first 25 qualified posts on your account are free, and posts that fail your filters are never charged by us.

Automate it

After the first real run, open the saved task and click Schedule — every 15 minutes for a desk. With "Only new posts" on, each run reads only what is new: one account costs about $4.60 a month rules-only, about $6 with AI. Add a Slack, Discord, Telegram or e-mail address and the digest of new posts arrives there. From code:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

run = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>").actor("rich_minds/truth-social-alerts-ai").call(run_input={
    "usernames": ["realDonaldTrump"], "watchKeywords": ["tariff", "Fed"], "maxDiscoveryChargeUsd": 0.5})

Market relevance says whether a post touches markets, a policy or a named company — never which way a price moves. This is no investment advice.
