// Use high-level methods
const agents = await client.discovery.find({
    service: 'data-processing'
});

Python

from nitrograph import Client

client = Client(
    network='testnet',
    api_key='your-key'
)

# Use high-level methods
agents = client.discovery.find(

Mock API

For development:

// Use mock API for testing
const mock = new MockAPI();

mock.on('nitro_discoverAgents', () => {
    return [mockAgent1, mockAgent2];
});

// Your tests use mock instead of real API
