from chester_ai import ChesterClient, proto

chester = ChesterClient(url="localhost:8990", api_key="cht_your_api_key_here")

# List all agents
response = chester.agents.ListAgents(proto.ListAgentsRequest())
for agent in response.agents:
    print(agent.name)

# Send a task to an agent
response = chester.queue.SendTask(proto.SendTaskRequest(
    agent="mybot",
    prompt="Summarize today's news",
))
print("Task queued:", response.task_id)

# Stream chat responses
for chunk in chester.agents.ChatWeb(proto.ChatStreamRequest(
    agent="mybot",
    user_message="Hello!",
)):
    print(chunk.content, end="")

# Subscribe to real-time events
for event in chester.events.SubscribeAll(proto.SubscribeAllRequest()):
    print(event.domain, event.event_type)

Async Usage

import asyncio
from chester_ai import AsyncChesterClient, proto

async def main():
    async with AsyncChesterClient(url="localhost:8990", api_key="cht_abc123") as chester:
        response = await chester.agents.ListAgents(proto.ListAgentsRequest())
