# ns8-protect-api-client
A client package for making calls to the NS8 Protect API

#### Note
Not to be confused with either of the following repositories:
- **[NS8 Protect API](https://github.com/ns8inc/ns8-protect-api)**: The is is the code that 
actually runs the Protect API, and this is the service 
that **`ns8-protect-api-client`** allows us to make calls to.

- **[NS8 Protect Client](https://github.com/ns8inc/ns8-protect-client)**: This is frontend, user-facing code that runs the NS8 Protect app that users install.
