pip install -U farcasteror install with Poetry:
poetry add farcasterThis SDK leverages the Warpcast API. Warpcast is one of many Farcaster clients. As more APIs are created and hosted by different clients, these will be added to the SDK.
To use the Warpcast API you need to have a Farcaster account. We will use the mnemonic or private key of the Farcaster custody account (not your main wallet) to connect to the API.
First, save your Farcaster mnemonic or private key to a .env file. Now you can initialize the client, and automatically connect to the Farcaster API!
import os
from farcaster import Warpcast
from dotenv import load_dotenv # can be installed with `pip install python-dotenv`
load_dotenv()
client = Warpcast(mnemonic=os.environ.get("<MNEMONIC_ENV_VAR>"))
print(client.get_healthcheck())Get a cast
response = client.get_cast("0x321712dc8eccc5d2be38e38c1ef0c8916c49949a80ffe20ec5752bb23ea4d86f")
print(response.cast.author.username) # "dwr"Publish a cast
response = client.post_cast(text="Hello world!")
print(response.cast.hash) # "0x...."Get a user by username
user = client.get_user_by_username("mason")
print(user.username) # "mason"Get a user's followers using a fid (farcaster ID)
response = client.get_followers(fid=50)
print(response.users) # [user1, user2, user3]Stream recent casts
for cast in client.stream_casts():
if cast:
print(cast.text) # "Hello world!"Get users who recently joined Farcaster
response = client.get_recent_users()
print(response.users) # [user1, user2, user3]Get your own user object
user = client.get_me()
print(user.username) # "you"Recast a cast
response = client.recast("0x....")
print(response.cast.hash) # "0x...."and many, many more things. The full specification can be found on the Reference page.
