A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

/dev

today i've shipped fc-data.xyz

heavily inspired by @pugson's ens and abidata, i've always needed a quick api for username by fid, avatar by username etc

it's also heavily cached so don't rely on it for fresh data!

Usage
- /fid-or-username
- /fid-or-username/avatar

ensdata.net ✦ pugson.net/rfe ✦ metadata.vision ✦ 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅: @rainbow 🌈 ✦ 𝙽𝙾𝚆: 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝙺𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝙾𝙽 ???

nice but fyi a username can be a number! should probably be different endpoints

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

ty, appreciate the feedback!

don't know if you've tried one of those cases but it works, if the username isn't found it checks by fid, so it's gonna find it 🔍🔍

cors is also setup so you can access it from clients

right but if im an app dev always sending fids, i can hit /3 expecting dan’s account but really get a different account

those pesky usernames, adding separate routes tmw

You could also consider returning a list instead of a nullable object. If the input matches a username and a FID, the response would include both.
