Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cast? A cast is a post on Farcaster, similar to a tweet. Each cast has an author, text, timestamp and engagement counts.

Can I track a topic across the network? Yes. Use the search keywords to collect every matching cast, with the author and engagement for each.

Can I pull several accounts at once? Yes. Add several usernames or FIDs and each account's casts are collected in the same run.

How fresh is the data? Casts are read live at run time, so each record reflects Farcaster at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
