## 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  
- **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](https://explorer.neynar.com/) now, which is super helpful to debug what’s happening to certain casts when network sync is being buggy

## Time to build is now
