Neynar (Farcaster API)

Interact with the Farcaster decentralized social protocol via Neynar's API.

Quick Start

Setup

1. Get an API key from dev.neynar.com 2. Create config:

mkdir -p ~/.clawdbot/skills/neynar
cat > ~/.clawdbot/skills/neynar/config.json << 'EOF'
{
  "apiKey": "YOUR_NEYNAR_API_KEY",
  "signerUuid": "YOUR_SIGNER_UUID"
}
EOF

Note: signerUuid is only required for posting casts. Get one via Neynar's signer management.

Verify Setup

scripts/neynar.sh user dwr.eth

Core Concepts

  • FID — Farcaster ID, a permanent numeric identifier for each user
  • Cast — A post on Farcaster (like a tweet)
  • Channel — Topic-based feeds (like subreddits)
  • Frame — Interactive mini-apps embedded in casts

Usage

User Lookup

# By username
scripts/neynar.sh user vitalik.eth

# By FID
scripts/neynar.sh user --fid 5650

# Multiple users
scripts/neynar.sh users dwr.eth,v,jessepollak

Read Feed

# User's casts
scripts/neynar.sh feed --user dwr.eth

# Channel feed
scripts/neynar.sh feed --channel base

# Trending feed
scripts/neynar.sh feed --trending

# Following feed (requires signer)
scripts/neynar.sh feed --following

Search

# Search casts
scripts/neynar.sh search "ethereum"

# Search users
scripts/neynar.sh search-users "vitalik"

# Search in channel
scripts/neynar.sh search "onchain summer" --channel base

Get Cast

# By hash
scripts/neynar.sh cast 0x1234abcd...

# By URL
scripts/neynar.sh cast "https://warpcast.com/dwr.eth/0x1234"

Post Cast (requires signer)

# Simple cast
scripts/neynar.sh post "gm farcaster"

# Reply to cast
scripts/neynar.sh post "great point!" --reply-to 0x1234abcd

# Cast in channel
scripts/neynar.sh post "hello base" --channel base

# Cast with embed
scripts/neynar.sh post "check this out" --embed "https://example.com"

Reactions

# Like a cast
scripts/neynar.sh like 0x1234abcd

# Recast
scripts/neynar.sh recast 0x1234abcd

Follow/Unfollow

scripts/neynar.sh follow dwr.eth
scripts/neynar.sh unfollow dwr.eth

FollowPOST /v2/farcaster/user/followAPI key + Signer

Response Format

All responses are JSON. The script extracts key fields for readability:

{
  "user": {
    "fid": 3,
    "username": "dwr.eth",
    "display_name": "Dan Romero",
    "follower_count": 450000,
    "following_count": 2800,
    "verified_addresses": ["0x..."]
  }
}

Common Patterns

Monitor a Channel

# Get latest casts from /base channel
scripts/neynar.sh feed --channel base --limit 20

Find Active Users

# Search for users by keyword
scripts/neynar.sh search-users "ethereum developer"

Cross-Post from Twitter

# Post same content to Farcaster
scripts/neynar.sh post "gm, just shipped a new feature 🚀"

Reply to Mentions

# Get your notifications (requires signer)
scripts/neynar.sh notifications

# Reply to specific cast
scripts/neynar.sh post "thanks!" --reply-to 0xabc123

Error Handling

ErrorCauseFix
401 UnauthorizedInvalid API keyCheck config.json
403 ForbiddenSigner requiredSet up signer for write operations
404 Not FoundUser/cast doesn't existVerify username/hash
429 Rate LimitedToo many requestsWait and retry

Signer Setup

For write operations (posting, liking, following), you need a signer:

1. Go to dev.neynar.com 2. Create a new signer or use managed signer 3. Add signerUuid to your config

Managed signers are easiest — Neynar handles the key custody.

Rate Limits

  • Free tier: 300 requests/minute
  • Paid tiers: Higher limits available
  • Check X-RateLimit-Remaining header

Best Practices

1. Cache user lookups — FIDs don't change, usernames rarely do 2. Use channels — Better reach than random posting 3. Engage genuinely — Farcaster culture values authenticity 4. Batch requests — Use bulk endpoints when possible 5. Handle rate limits — Implement backoff

Troubleshooting

API Key Not Working

# Verify key works
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://api.neynar.com/v2/farcaster/user/bulk?fids=1"

Signer Issues

  • Ensure signer is approved and active
  • Check signer permissions match your FID
  • Managed signers are simpler than self-hosted

Cast Not Appearing

  • Casts propagate in seconds, but indexing may take longer
  • Check the cast hash in the response
  • Verify on warpcast.com directly
