building on postfun: extending the protocol for cultural value

the vision: your innovation, our foundation​

at postfun, we believe that the true power of web3 lies in open, composable protocols. while our official platform (postfun.xyz and its browser extension) provides a robust and engaging user experience, it's just the beginning. we envision a future where developers like you build an entire ecosystem of tools, services, and applications that leverage postfun's underlying protocol for cultural value.

the publicly accessible api is the cornerstone of this vision, designed to open up the postfun experience for everyone. we warmly invite you to explore our endpoints, understand our mechanics, and build with us. your creativity will unlock new possibilities for how content creators and communities monetize their influence.

what you can build: unleashing your creativity​

the possibilities are vast when you build on top of postfun. here are just a few ideas to spark your imagination:

1. trading bots​

  • concept: automate buying and selling strategies for postfun tokens.
  • capabilities: program bots to execute trades based on real-time social signals (e.g., tweet virality, sentiment analysis), specific postfun metrics (e.g., volume spikes, liquidity changes), or pool progression towards graduation milestones.
  • impact: contribute to market efficiency and liquidity, or leverage your analytical edge.

2. advanced analytics dashboards​

  • concept: create custom data visualizations and insights beyond what the official postfun website provides.
  • capabilities: track minter profitability over time, analyze creator earnings trends, identify patterns in graduated pools, or visualize the most active traders.
  • tools: utilize tools like dune analytics (if our data is publicly accessible/indexed), or build custom dashboards by hitting our public api endpoints and storing data locally.

3. telegram/discord bots​

  • concept: bring real-time postfun market updates directly to your community's favorite chat platforms.
  • capabilities: develop bots that pipe notifications for:
    • new mints: announce a new content pool creation instantly.
    • level-ups: broadcast when a pool hits a new level (spark, bonfire, inferno) and experiences a token burn.
    • large swaps: highlight significant buy or sell orders.
    • graduations: celebrate when a pool makes it to the final stage and gets listed on a dex.
  • impact: keep your community engaged and informed without them constantly checking the website. (see our dedicated tutorial: "tutorial: building a 'new mints' telegram bot").

4. custom uis & trading interfaces​

  • concept: build alternative frontends or specialized trading interfaces tailored to specific user groups or trading styles.
  • capabilities: create mobile-optimized interfaces, desktop applications, or niche trading terminals with unique features not available on the main site.
  • impact: provide diverse access points and cater to specialized needs within the postfun ecosystem.

5. social integrations​

  • concept: connect postfun data with other social platforms beyond x.com (e.g., farcaster, lens protocol).
  • capabilities: develop bridges that allow postfun event data to flow into other social graphs, or integrate postfun trading into alternative social uis.

getting access & fair use policy​

the postfun public get api endpoints are open and available for immediate use without authentication. we encourage you to start exploring and experimenting with these endpoints to understand the data available.

  • api reference: for a detailed breakdown of all available endpoints, including request/response formats, please refer to our api reference.

rate limits​

current rate limits apply to all requests to ensure fair usage and platform stability. for general public endpoints, these limits are generous enough for most exploratory and small-scale application development.

accessing authenticated endpoints​

for high-volume use cases or to request an api key for accessing authenticated post endpoints (like post /swaps or post /mints programmatically), please reach out to our team. this process ensures we can understand your use case and provide the necessary support and access, while maintaining the security and integrity of the platform.

contact us: please connect with our team through our official discord server or send an email to partnerships@postfun.xyz to discuss your specific needs and access requirements for authenticated endpoints.

we look forward to seeing the innovative ways you'll expand the postfun universe!
