Hi friend 👋 We’ve made mini apps (aka frames) a lot easier to build, AI agents 1 click to spin up, launched a free tier and dropped new features across our APIs and data services.

Let’s dive right in: 

Building mini apps / Frames got a lot easier 

1. Make frames in < 60s 

Just type npx @neynar/create-farcaster-mini-app anywhere in the terminal to get started. You can go all the way to deploying to Vercel by simply typing npm run deploy:vercel, notifications and analytics are automatically set up for you (docs). Package is open source and sets up everything you needed - manifest, notifications, tunnels, etc … (announcement link)

2. Broadcast no code notifications

If you deployed a frame with a Neynar notifications url, you can broadcast to users who have enabled it notifications straight from the dev portal (dev.neynar.com/apps). Analytics will automatically populate as notifications are enabled or disabled on the frame (announcement).

3. Process frame embed data inside casts 

Whether fetching individual casts, a reply thread or a feed, all cast objects will have embed data for mini-apps / frames if the cast has a frame. 

4. Fetch a catalog of mini apps / frames 

If displaying list of frames in your apps, you can fetch a ranked list of high quality frames from this API. 

Start with $0 

We have launched a free tier

Set of our /user and /cast APIs are now available for free so you can get started easier. Building a simple bot or getting a list of users to airdrop to now costs $0.

Build agents with less code with $0 

1. You can make 1-click AI agents on the Neynar developer portal

No need to log out of your account to create an agent account, it’s ready to go with a signer for you to write casts programmatically. 

2. Pass conversation summary easily into next prompt 

Agents often require the summary of the conversation to which they need to reply to as context in their prompt before they can create a reply. Instead of summarizing the full conversation yourself by fetching all the casts, you can now create a summary in a single API call. 

3. Fetch interaction history between the agent and the user 

Agents respond better with more context. If your agent needs to know the past interactions with a user, you can fetch all their common interactions on the fly in a single API call reducing the need to manage state per user for your agent. If you need a summary of these interactions instead, let us know. 

API improvements across the board 

1. Build with a user’s chosen primary wallet address 

Users can now choose a primary address. These primary addresses are now returned as part of our user objects, across all our APIs (incl. free tier).

2. Know which app wrote a cast 

Each cast returns the app it was casted from. If you want to show casts from only your app, it’s easy to filter out other casts now.

3. Search results are sorted and allow semantic search 

Cast search API now offers algorithmic sort and semantic search. Algo sort allows you to sort the search results by quality while semantic search allows finding results that aren’t a perfect match with the search query (launch cast, docs). 

User scores are easier to access 

User scores are now available across all our data services 

You can now access Neynar user scores as well as Warpcast user labels across all our data products — hosted sql playground and indexer service (announcement).
