Indexer Service

A service that reads real-time data from hubs and indexes it into your Postgres database.

​

Benefits

• Full control over a Farcaster dataset that is synced in real-time
  • custom indexes, derivative tables, and custom APIs
• No need to maintain a hub
• No need to maintain an indexer with new protocol updates
  • Neynar handles all protocol changes for newly available data

​

Requirements

See Requirements for indexer service

​

Steps

• Contact for setup

  • Reach out to @rish or @manan on Farcaster

• Backfill

  • Once Neynar receives the credentials from you, we will verify access to the database and permissions.
  • We will set up the schema and start the backfill process.
  • Expect 24-48 hours for the backfill to complete

• Livestream indexing

  • Post backfill, all data will be indexed from the live stream from the hub

​

Notes

• We read data from hubs directly, and hubs can differ from Warpcast from time to time: see Understanding Message Propagation on Farcaster Mainnet for more on this topic
• By default, we pipe data in this schema: link , reach out if you want subsets of data or custom schemas
