# How to Create a Farcaster Channel Feed

> Create a feed for any channel (i.e. parent_url) on Farcaster protocol

<Info>
  ### API endpoint

  This tutorial uses the [GET v2/feed](/reference/fetch-user-following-feed) endpoint
</Info>

Imagine you want to create a feed for casts in the Neynar channel. Casts on the Farcaster protocol can be under any `parent_url`, `parent_url`s are just arbitrary strings. Different clients choose to show their chosen list of `parent_urls` and some clients like Warpcast refer to them as "channels".

## Create a channel feed

In this example, we will try to create a feed for the Neynar channel. If you are looking for the `parent_url`s for the channels on Warpcast, you can find them in the [Farcaster Channels Repository](https://github.com/neynarxyz/farcaster-channels/blob/main/warpcast.json). You will need the right `parent_url` to fetch channel data.

#### Ensure you have the right environment setup

Make sure to have node.js, typescript (ts) and yarn installed on your machine

* Install [node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
* Install [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#mac-stable)
* Install [ts-node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node#installation) globally

#### Create a new typescript file with the right imports

```js theme={"system"}
import { NeynarAPIClient, isApiErrorResponse } from "@neynar/nodejs-sdk";
import { AxiosError } from "axios";

import {
  FeedType, FilterType,
} from "@neynar/nodejs-sdk/build/neynar-api/neynar-v2-api";
```

#### Initialize the client

```bash theme={"system"}
const client = new NeynarAPIClient("API_KEY");
```

#### Call `fetchFeedPage` function to get feed

```js theme={"system"}
(async () => {
  try {
    const cast =
      await client.fetchFeedPage(FeedType.Filter, {
        filterType: FilterType.ParentUrl,
        parentUrl: "chain://eip155:1/erc721:0xd4498134211baad5846ce70ce04e7c4da78931cc",
        limit: 1, // change to however many casts you want to fetch at once (max 100)
        withRecasts: true,
      });
    console.log(JSON.stringify(cast));
  } catch (error) {
    // isApiErrorResponse can be used to check for Neynar API errors
    // handle errors accordingly
    if (isApiErrorResponse(error)) {
      console.log("API Error", error.response.data);
    } else {
      console.log("Generic Error", error);
    }
  }
})();
```

#### Run your new .ts file

* Navigate to the right folder in your terminal e.g. `cd ./test-sdk`
* Run script by typing `yarn start` into the terminal

#### You should now see an output like this

```json theme={"system"}

**You get all the data in one request, making it easy to display or use in your next operation.** If you want to try getting a live response, head over to our API page for [v2/feed](/reference/fetch-user-following-feed).

You can take the cursor from the output and pass it in the next request to the SDK to page to the next set of results.
