These are the main functions of the taClient. It is important to note that these are mostly asyncronous and must be awaited for if you wish to use the response they provide. There is however another important part of the taClient, which is the taClient.stateManger. This stateManger also has more functions which I have also provided in a table below. The stateManger loads its data once it connects to the TA CoreServer.
