## Parameters [#parameters]

## Python [#python]

Typed namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as sub

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

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = await client.read("delegate_take", hotkey_ss58="5F...")
```
