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)! You agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy when using our free APIs.
