Data Products, APIs & SDKs, Development & Debugging, and Q&A

Intro for dev call

• Why dev call?

  • Give folks who are building more of a heads up as to what we are doing(if you're building something similar so you save the work, if you want to use our infra etc)

  • Sharing more about the different product offerings and updates that Neynar has

Data Products

• We have a bunch of different read/write data product offerings

  • Parquet files

  • Kafka streams

    • Features fully hydrated data as well as newly added embed metadata

APIs & SDKs

• APIs

  • Upgrades to notifications APIs

    • POST notification API, if you’re building a client you can mark which clients a user has seen, works across clients using Neynar

    • Priority mode, when you set to true for notification it’ll reduce the number of notification so you only see them from power badges and users that the viewer follows

  • Other things we’ve had recently and will work on more

    • We have block APIs to see blocked users/users someone has been blocked by

    • Will take it a step forward so we respect the blocks across all our other APIs, developers won’t have to do anything

    • Similarly we have channel follow/unfollow APIs

• SDKs

  • We have a Node.js SDK which a lot of devs know about & use

  • We also have a rather newer frontend sdk, @neynar/react -- makes it super easy to make your own client / Farcaster app and we'll continue growing it as well as examples

Development and debugging

• You can now add team members to the Neynar dev portal, hopefully makes it easier for teams to manage their Neynar acccount

• We also have our Neynar Explorer now, which is super helpful to debug what’s happening to certain casts when network sync is being buggy
