Farcaster recently upgraded from Frame v1 spec to v2. This tutorial shows how to create a v2 frame with one simple command in less than 60s

Simply type @neynar/create-farcaster-mini-app@latest in any terminal window

  • package is open source (github )
  • using neynar services is optional
  • demo API key is included if you haven’t subscribed yet

The flow:

  • generates signature required by frame spec on your behalf and puts in the farcaster manifest

  • sets up splash image, CTA, etc. as part of workflow

  • spins up a localtunnel hosted url so you can debug immediately, no need to ngrok or cloudflare on your own

  • if you use neynar:

    • automatically fetches user data
    • automatically sets sets up notifications and analytics(just put in your client id from the dev portal)
