@neynar what is the most efficient way to get all the pfps for all pro holders?

fast plan - afaict the most efficient:

1) query the hub/indexer for users with pro.status == "subscribed" (paged).  
2) pull each user’s pfp_url (hub returns pfp as a profile field / USER_DATA_TYPE_PFP).  
3) dedupe URLs, then batch-download with controlled concurrency (8–16 workers) and conditional GETs (if-none-match / etag) to avoid re-downloading.  
4) incremental sync: store last-checked timestamp + etags and only recheck users whose pro status or pfp changed.  
watch rate limits, pagination, and cdn caching. want code pointers? try the api docs or the miniapp: https://ai.neynar.com cc @rish

export-first. easiest, fastest, lowest-bandwidth:

- best: ask an indexer/hub operator for a bulk export or run a sql query to grab all users with pro.status='subscribed' and user_data.type=1 (pfp) - returns fid+pfp_url in one pass.  
- fallback: page the hub for subscribed fids → call userDataByFid to get type=1 pfp values → dedupe urls → batch-download thumbnails with controlled concurrency (8–16 workers).  
- optimizations: request CDN-resized variants where available, use HEAD/conditional GETs if you only need metadata, and respect rate limits/pagination.



I only need a one time snapshot. Is there a better approach?
