Trump Truth Social API for financial markets: direct feed, alerts and reaction data

Published in ET: Feed time in ET: Trump market reaction Truth Social WTI -3.48% (10m)

An API endpoint alone is not a trading product. The useful product is the complete path from a President Trump post to an intelligible alert, a market-relevance decision, and a timestamped view of the assets that moved next.

Direct access versus page monitoring

A direct licensed API can deliver a new post without waiting for a scraper or browser poll to revisit a profile. MoveSurge then normalizes the post, evaluates its market relevance, and presents the alert inside the same feed traders use for other market-moving headlines.

The transformation layer

Raw political text can mention several countries, companies, commodities or policy actions. The feed must preserve the original meaning while identifying likely market channels such as energy supply, equity-index risk, gold, rates, currencies or a named stock.

The output traders actually need

The final card should answer four questions: what was posted, when was it public, what instruments were relevant, and what did those instruments do after that timestamp. The archive examples below show why those four fields belong together.

How to use this evidence

Start with the original timestamp, then compare the one-minute move with the later window. Check whether related assets confirm the same interpretation and whether the first direction persists. A reversal or a muted peer response can be as informative as a large move.

Limits and risk

These are historical observations, not forecasts, investment advice or brokerage execution. Markets can move before, during or after a post for unrelated reasons. Latency, liquidity and reaction size will differ across future events.
