@farcaster/auth-client
A framework agnostic client library for Farcaster Auth.
Getting Started
Installation
Install the library and its peer dependency viem.
npm install @farcaster/auth-client viem
Clients
If you're building a connected app, use an app client. An app client can connect to the relay server, generate a Sign in With Farcaster link, and verify the user's signature.
If you're building a wallet app and receiving signature requests, use a wallet client. A wallet client can parse a Sign in With Farcaster URL, build a message to present to the user, and submit the signed message to the relay server.
App Client
You can use an app client to create a Farcaster Auth relay channel, generate a URL to request a signature from the user's Farcaster wallet app, and verify the returned signature.
import { createAppClient, viemConnector } from "@farcaster/auth-client";
const appClient = createAppClient({
relay: "https://relay.farcaster.xyz",
ethereum: viemConnector(),
});
Parameters
ethereum
An Ethereum connector, used to query the Farcaster contracts and verify smart contract wallet signatures. @farcaster/auth-client
currently provides only the viemConnector
connector type.
To use a custom RPC, pass an RPC URL to the viem connector.
Type: Ethereum
Example: viemConnector("http://mainnet.optimism.io")
relay (optional)
Relay server URL. Defaults to the public relay at https://relay.farcaster.xyz
.
Type: string
Example: "https://relay.farcaster.xyz"
version (optional)
Farcaster Auth version. Defaults to "v1"
Type: string
Example: "v1"
Actions
createChannel

Returns a secret token identifying the channel, and a URI to display to the end user as a link or QR code.
const channel = await appClient.createChannel({
siweUri: "https://example.com/login",
domain: "example.com",
});
Return Value
{
response: Response;
data: {
channelToken: string;
url: string;
}
isError: boolean;
error: Error;
}
Parameters
siweUri
Login URL for your application.
Type: string
Example: "https://example.com/login"
domain
Domain of your application. Value should match the domain requesting the SIWE signature.
Type: string
Example: "example.com"
nonce (optional)
A custom nonce. Must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters.
Type: string
Example: "ESsxs6MaFio7OvqWb"
notBefore (optional)
Start time at which the SIWE signature becomes valid. ISO 8601 datetime.
Type: string
Example: "2023-12-20T23:21:24.917Z"
expirationTime (optional)
Expiration time at which the SIWE signature is no longer valid. ISO 8601 datetime.

Example: "2023-12-20T23:21:24.917Z"
requestId (optional)
A system specific ID your app can use to refer to the sign in request.
Type: string
Example: "8d0494d9-e0cf-402b-ab0a-394ac7fe07a0"
status
Get current status of a Farcaster Auth request.
Returns the current state of the request, either 'pending'
if the user's Farcaster wallet app has not yet sent back a signature, or 'completed'
once the wallet app has returned a response.
In 'completed'
state, the response includes the generated Sign in With Farcaster message, a signature from the user's custody address, the user's verified fid, and user profile information.
const status = await appClient.status({
channelToken: "210f1718-427e-46a4-99e3-2207f21f83ec",
});
Return Value

.
Type: string
Example: "210f1718-427e-46a4-99e3-2207f21f83ec"
watchStatus
Poll for the current status of a Farcaster Auth request.
When the status changes to 'complete'
this action resolves with the final channel value, including the Sign In With Farcaster message, signature, and user profile information.

state: 'completed'
nonce: string
message?: string
signature?: Hex
fid?: number
username?: string
bio?: string
displayName?: string
pfpUrl?: string

.
Type: string
Example: "210f1718-427e-46a4-99e3-2207f21f83ec"

Example:
({ response, data }) => {
console.log("Response code:", response.status);
console.log("Status data:", data);
};
verifySignInMessage
Verify a Sign In With Farcaster message. Your app should call this function and check that it succeeds after reading the message and signature provided by the user's Farcaster wallet over the Auth relay channel.
Returns the parsed Sign in With Farcaster message, the user's fid, and whether the verification succeeded.
const { data, success, fid } = await appClient.verifySignInMessage({
nonce: "abcd1234",
