Hello Hive community members,
Good morning from Bharat 🇮🇳
This video outlines a set of technical questions for 
Since we live in different time zones, synchronous calls are difficult. That’s why using 3Speak itself for async communication makes sense — keeping everything transparent and on the Hive blockchain.
🔄 Async Collaboration on Hive
Different time zones shouldn’t slow innovation.
Let’s build in public. Let’s communicate in public.
❓ Question 1: Replacement for Union Indexer API
There have been discussions suggesting that we should not use the Union Indexer (GraphQL API built under Speak Network).
So my questions are:
Is there a replacement for the Union Indexer API?
If yes:
- What is the new API?
- How should the 3Speak mobile app consume it?
Has this already been deployed?
Additionally, does the new Feed API provide all required values?
We need:
- Video URL
- Thumbnail URL
- Upvote count
- Upvote value (HIVE / HBD)
- Comment count
- Category
- Community
- Tags
Are all these fields available in the new feed response?
📤 Question 2: Video Upload Process
Have there been any changes in the video upload process?
If yes:
- Please share the latest API documentation for uploading videos.
- Are there new required parameters?
- Any structural changes in request/response?
🖼 Question 3: Change Thumbnail API
If a user uploads a video and later wants to update the thumbnail:
- Is there an official API available for updating the thumbnail?
- If yes, please share the details.
I previously built and deployed such an API, but it has stopped working — so I want to confirm the current official approach.
🔗 Question 4: Full URLs in Feed Response
Currently, the mobile app uses hardcoded logic to construct IPFS URLs (replacing ipfs:// with a static gateway URL).
This is not recommended.
So:
- Are we now receiving full video URLs?
- Are we receiving full thumbnail URLs?
If yes, we can safely remove all hardcoded gateway logic and simplify the codebase.
🌐 Question 5: CDN Changes
I’ve noticed possible changes in CDN configuration.
- Have there been CDN updates?
- If yes, what changes are required on the mobile app side?
- Are new base URLs required?
