# @farcaster/hub-nodejs
A lightweight, fast Typescript interface for Farcaster Hubs. Designed to work with [Hubble](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/hubble/) and any other Hub that implements the [Farcaster protocol](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/protocol).
## Features
- Call any Hub endpoint from a NodeJS environment.
- Serializes and deserializes Farcaster protobufs into Javascript objects.
- Has helpers to create and sign Farcaster messages.
- Written entirely in TypeScript, with strict types for safety.
Read the [documentation](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/hubble/tree/main/packages/hub-nodejs/docs), see more [examples](https://github.com/farcasterxyz/hubble/tree/main/packages/hub-nodejs/examples) or get started with the guide below.
## Installation
Install @farcaster/hub-nodejs with the package manager of your choice
```bash
npm install @farcaster/hub-nodejs
yarn add @farcaster/hub-nodejs
pnpm install @farcaster/hub-nodejs
```
## Quickstart
### Fetching Data from Hubs
```typescript
import { getSSLHubRpcClient } from '@farcaster/hub-nodejs';
client.$.waitForReady(Date.now() + 5000, async (e) => {
if (e) {
console.error(`Failed to connect to ${hubRpcEndpoint}:`, e);
process.exit(1);
} else {
console.log(`Connected to ${hubRpcEndpoint}`);
const castsResult = await client.getCastsByFid({ fid: 8928 });
castsResult.map((casts) => casts.messages.map((cast) => console.log(cast.data?.castAddBody?.text)));
client.close();
}
});
```
