Hello Hive community members,
Good morning from Bharat ๐ฎ๐ณ
This video outlines a set of technical questions for regarding the future direction of the mobile app and how we can properly align it with the improvements made on 3Speak.
Since we live in different time zones, synchronous calls are difficult. Thatโs why using 3Speak itself for async communication makes sense โ keeping everything transparent and on the Hive blockchain.
๐ Async Collaboration on Hive
Different time zones shouldnโt slow innovation.
Letโs build in public. Letโs communicate in public.
โ 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?
๐ค 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?
๐ผ 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 โ so I want to confirm the current official approach.
๐ 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.
๐ Question 5: CDN Changes
Iโve 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?
