## Client

`guava.Client` complements [`guava.Agent`](https://goguava.ai/docs/agent) by providing functions for managing account-level resources. It also provides any functions that don't fit onto [`guava.Agent`](https://goguava.ai/docs/agent).

### Example Code

```python
import guava, os

client = guava.Client(
    api_key=os.environ["GUAVA_API_KEY"],   # or omit — reads env automatically
)
```
