Getting a free API Key
Start by creating a free API key! We use API keys to prevent abuse.
curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"description": "YOUR_DESCRIPTION",

Field | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
YOUR_DESCRIPTION | The name and description of the project. | Project X |
YOUR_EMAIL | Your email address for any notifications. | john.doe@example.com |
You'll use this API key as a request header in your HTTP request (API-KEY

Data Availability
We archive casts & reactions (L1 & L2) after 180 days to significantly improve the performance of our APIs. If you're querying historical data, we recommend querying hubs directly or finding Farcaster archives (e.g. Indexing)!
