⚠️ Update on my fun automation project I was building:

I'm pausing it for now. 

Why? 
Cus external video hosting costs will kill me eventually. 

Thanks to @gt he made me realise this ;)

20. i learn by doing. currently building mini-apps and learning how to's of coding.

Things I learned building this:

- a Signer UUID from Neynar lets our app post on your behalf, which is different from a normal API key. It's how you give permission without sharing your private Farcaster keys.

- Figured out how to get the Signer UUID from the Neynar dashboard.

- Learned that posting video via the API is a big deal, mainly for alternative clients, not small projects. The key reason is cost – you pay for every single video view when it hits your server.

- Discovered that for a video link to work properly, the domain (I used Bunny.net URL) needs to be whitelisted by the Farcaster team (by @gt 

- Just because a video is uploaded doesn't mean it's public.

- The "403 Forbidden" error happened because Bunny.net's default security blocks direct access to files. You need to add allowed referrers and Enable direct url file access. 

- Understood the difference between an .m3u8 file (a playlist for streaming) and a .mp4 (a direct video file).

 And yep ;)
