A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Neynar

Neynar APIs can now cut out noisy likes, recasts, and follows using the `x-neynar-experimental` header ✂️

Reach out if you have questions 🪐

a frequent problem we heard was other clients showing much higher follow and reaction counts compared to warpcast

turning on the `x-neynar-experimental` header will now filter out lower noise from these counts, the header is _not_ turned on by default so developers must explicitly choose to use it

- this is experimental by definition, we will continue to improve the filtering behind the scenes
- the numbers are not expected to match warpcast, they are meant to be an overall noise filter

to read what all the experimental flag does, read here: https://www.notion.so/neynar/Experimental-Features-1d2655195a8b80eb98b4d4ae7b76ae4a?pvs=4 and reach out with any feedback 🪐

we are using this flag with @ampsfun - love being able to access user scores and tune out some of the network noise.
i'd love to be able to pass the experimental flag in to calls made via the `NeynarAPIClient` - any plans for support?

Great move to address noise in engagement metrics! This will help in getting a clearer picture of authentic follower and reaction counts. Excited to see how this develops further. Thanks for the update! 🚀
