Clients

Ceramic clients​

Ceramic clients are libraries that allow your application to communicate with a Ceramic node. Different clients may choose to implement different high-level, language-specific developer APIs. Before submitting requests to a Ceramic node, clients translate those API calls into the standard Ceramic HTTP API, which it uses to actually communicate with a Ceramic node.

Account clients​

Account clients are libraries that allow your application to recognize users, authenticate, and perform other account-related functionality such as signing transactions and encrypting data.

Available clients​

When building with Ceramic clients, be sure to install both a Ceramic client and an account client.
