# @atproto/lex-client

- [Changelog](./CHANGELOG.md)
- [`@atproto/lex` documentation](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/blob/main/packages/lex/lex/README.md)

Type-safe HTTP ([XRPC](https://atproto.com/specs/xrpc)) client for Lexicon-defined APIs: the `Client` class for working with records in the context of an authenticated session, and the lower-level `xrpc()` / `xrpcSafe()` functions.

Requests are validated against schemas generated by `lex build`. Authentication is supplied through an `Agent`, implemented by [`@atproto/oauth-client`](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/oauth/oauth-client) or, for scripts and bots, [`@atproto/lex-password-session`](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/lex/lex-password-session).

This is a building block of [`@atproto/lex`](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/tree/main/packages/lex/lex), which re-exports it — prefer depending on that package.
