So... Truth Social is iPhone only but qagg.news has API access to pull data from Truth Social? Or does qagg.news somehow have some ability to scrape data off of the iphone app?
Things that make you go Hmmmm....
Sure seems like an inside job kek
I’d suspect the iPhone app is using the API, too.
I'm almost certain it does. Almost everything of this type uses REST APIs. Part of my job is to document APIs by sniffing network traffic and writing my own clients for them. I'd try it at home for Truth but I only have an android phone. If they release it for android before web, I could code a scraper or web client.
It's based off Mastodon. No real security through obscurity, especially after someone blew the whistle that it was based off Mastodon. Source code is available:
https://help.truthsocial.com/
Scroll down to What Is Open Source?
The Truth Social (Mastodon) link is the sourcecode (appears on my right, but I'm an old fashioned computer user, fuck cell phones).
Intercepting the requests, figuring out what data is expected to be sent & returned to the best of our ability, and documenting it. So we don't get a complete API, but figure out enough to use the same features as a given app. I can then create my own implementation until they change the API and I need to sniff the traffic again.
