PyCaster is a python lib that makes it easy to build apps on Farcaster. It can be used to create Farcaster Frames. This boilerplate provides a demo of it's usage.

Using PyCaster to build your frames backend is easy. I wrote a blog post about it at https://pranavprakash.in/2024/02/12/building-a-farcaster-frame-in-python-with-flask/

If you have any questions, open an issue in this repo or cast to me on Farcaster

1. Clone this repo

git clone [email protected]:merokudao/pycaster-boilerplate.git

2. Optional

Create a virtual environment using python -m venv venv and activate it using source venv/bin/activate

3. Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Depending on your use case, you may need to set one or more of the following env variables that are needed by PyCaster.

Create your own .env by copying from .env.example.

cp .env.example .env

Set env variables in terminal by

set -a; source .env; set +a

RUN using

flask run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9091

docker build -t pycasterdemo .

docker run -p 9091:5000 --env-file .env pycasterdemo

We'd love to accept contriutions. Please open an issue with what you'd like to build and we'll discuss and take it from there.
