TLDR
APIs upgraded, adding notification priority and block handling. Kafka streams now embed metadata. Neynar React SDK growing. Neynar Explorer aids sync debugging, team management improved.
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
- Upgrades to notifications 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 account
- 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
