## How to Get Trending Casts

This guide demonstrates how to use the Neynar SDK to get trending casts on Farcaster.

Check out this [Getting started guide](/docs/getting-started-with-neynar) to learn how to set up your environment and get an API key.

First, initialize the client:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Javascript theme={"system"}
  // npm i @neynar/nodejs-sdk
  import { Configuration, NeynarAPIClient } from "@neynar/nodejs-sdk";
  import { FeedType, FilterType } from "@neynar/nodejs-sdk/build/api";

  // make sure to set your NEYNAR_API_KEY .env
  // don't have an API key yet? get one at neynar.com
  const config = new Configuration({
    apiKey: process.env.NEYNAR_API_KEY,
  });

  const client = new NeynarAPIClient(config);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Then fetch the global trending Farcaster casts:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Javascript theme={"system"}
  const feed = await client.fetchFeed({
      feedType: FeedType.Filter,
      filterType: FilterType.GlobalTrending,
      limit: 1,
    })

  console.log(feed);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Example output:

```json theme={"system"}

   }
}
```

To fetch the next page of the feed, use the cursor:

<CodeGroup>
  ```javascript Javascript theme={"system"}
  const nextFeed = await client.fetchFeed({
      feedType: FeedType.Filter,
      filterType: FilterType.GlobalTrending,
      limit: 1,
      cursor: feed.next.cursor,
    })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

It's that easy to get trending casts in Farcaster!
