Client

A Client established a connection with a Farcaster Hub which can be used to send and receive messages. It is initialized with the IP address and gRPC port of the Hub. Once connected, a Client instance can:

  • Query for messages by user or type.
  • Query for on-chain Farcaster Contracts state.
  • Subscribe to changes by type.
  • Upload new messages.

Constructor

getInsecureHubRpcClient returns a Hub RPC Client. Use getSSLHubRpcClient if the server you're using supports SSL.

Usage

import { getSSLHubRpcClient } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';

// Instantiate the gRPC client for a secure connection
const client = getSSLHubRpcClient('testnet1.farcaster.xyz:2283');

// If the Hub does not use SSL, call the getInsecureHubRpcClient method instead
// const insecureClient = getInsecureHubRpcClient('https://testnet1.farcaster.xyz:2283');

// Wait for the gRPC client to be ready before making any requests
client.$.waitForReady(Date.now() + 5000, async (e) => {
  if (e) {
    console.error(`Failed to connect to the gRPC server:`, e);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log(`Connected to the gRPC server`);

    // Add any gRPC calls you want to make here, for example:
    // const castsResult = await client.getCastsByFid({ fid: 8928 });

    // After everything, close the RPC connection
    client.close();
  }
});

Returns

Type Description
Client A new Client instance.

Parameters

Name Type Description
address string Address and RPC port string (e.g. https://testnet1.farcaster.xyz:2283)

Authentication

Some Hubs require authentication to submit messages which is done with basic auth over SSL. Clients will automatically negotiate an SSL connection if possible, and you'll need to provide the username and password when calling submitMessage.

Methods

Clients expose methods grouped into logical services. Each method returns an async Result object and may support pagination.

Results

Methods are async and return a HubAsyncResult<T>, a wrapper around neverthrow's Result, which contains either a successful response of type <T> or an error value. There are three types of return values across all our methods:

Results always return an object of type Message instead of a more specific type like CastAddMessage due to a quick of the protobuf-generated types. This can be easily remedied by passing responses through a typeguard:

import { isCastAddMessage } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';

// See getCast documentation below for more details on this
const castResult = await client.getCast({ fid: 2, hash: castHashBytes });

if (castResult.isOk()) {
  const cast = castResult.value; // cast is of type Message

  if (isCastAddMessage(cast)) {
    console.log(cast); // cast is now a CastAddMessage
  }
}

Pagination

Methods that return multiple values support pagination in requests with a pageSize and pageToken property.

import { getSSLHubRpcClient, HubResult, MessagesResponse } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';

const hubRpcEndpoint = 'testnet1.farcaster.xyz:2283';
const client = getSSLHubRpcClient(hubRpcEndpoint);

client.$.waitForReady(Date.now() + 5000, async (e) => {
  if (e) {
    console.error(`Failed to connect to ${hubRpcEndpoint}:`, e);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log(`Connected to ${hubRpcEndpoint}`);

    let nextPageToken: Uint8Array | undefined = undefined;
    let isNextPage = true;

    while (isNextPage) {
      const castsResult: HubResult<MessagesResponse> = await client.getCastsByFid({
        fid: 2,
        pageSize: 10,
        pageToken: nextPageToken,
      });

      if (castsResult.isErr()) {
        break;
      }

      const castsResponse: MessagesResponse = castsResult.value;
      castsResponse.messages.map((cast) => console.log(cast?.data?.castAddBody?.text));

      nextPageToken = castsResponse.nextPageToken;
      isNextPage = !!nextPageToken && nextPageToken.length > 0;
    }

    client.close();
  }
});

subscribe

Returns a gRPC Stream object which emits HubEvents in real-time.

Streams emit events from the current timestamp onwards and gRPC guarantees ordered delivery. If a Client is disconnected, it can request the stream to begin from a specific Event Id. Hubs maintain a short cache of events which helps with recovery when clients get disconnected temporarily.

Usage

import { getSSLHubRpcClient, HubEventType } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';

const hubRpcEndpoint = 'testnet1.farcaster.xyz:2283';
const client = getSSLHubRpcClient(hubRpcEndpoint);

  if (e) {
    console.error(`Failed to connect to ${hubRpcEndpoint}:`, e);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log(`Connected to ${hubRpcEndpoint}`);

    const subscribeResult = await client.subscribe({
      eventTypes: [HubEventType.MERGE_MESSAGE],
    });

    if (subscribeResult.isOk()) {
      const stream = subscribeResult.value;

      for await (const event of stream) {
        console.log(event);
      }
    }

    client.close();
  }
});

Returns

Value Description
HubResult<ClientReadableStream<HubEvent>> A stream that emits HubEvents.

Parameters

Name Type Description
eventTypes HubEventType Events to listen for.
fromId? number EventId to start streaming from.

submitMessage

Submits a new message to the Hub. A Hub can choose to require basic authentication or enforce IP-based rate limits for messages accepted over this endpoint from clients.

Usage

import { getSSLHubRpcClient, getAuthMetadata } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';
