# Bako ID Client

The Bako ID Client is an HTTP client that interacts with our server for on-chain queries. Our server communicates directly with the indexer, where all events related to handles are extracted.

```typescript
import { BakoIDClient } from '@bako-id/sdk';
const client = new BakoIDClient();
```

***

## **Get Records**

This method retrieves all handles belonging to a given address. The method call is defined as:

```typescript
await client.getRecords(ownerAddress, chainId);
```

### Parameters

* **ownerAddress**: The owner's `b256` address.
* **chainId**: The network to resolve.

### Output

The output is of type `IDRecord[]`:

```json
[
  {
    "id": "d05405c575f32704569de47dcbe7cf1380dddfd272c9165c87c9e32f421865f6",
