| `hotkey_ss58` | string  | Parent hotkey whose children to list. |

btcli query children --hotkey <ss58|name> --netuid <integer> --json
```

## Python [#python]

Typed namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as sub

async with sub.Client("finney") as client:
    result = await client.delegation.children(hotkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = await client.read("children", hotkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)
```
