# What is a Supported Client?

A supported client is a third-party game client or bot that already knows how to talk to TheAltening through our API. If you use one of these, you can log in with a token inside the client itself and skip installing the Authenticator.

### Why use a supported client

* Fewer steps. Copy a token from the panel, paste it in the client, join a server.
* Built-in integration. The client handles our API behind the scenes.
* Stays normal for you, no extra apps to download

### How it works (quick)

1. Open the panel and copy a token.
2. In your client, find the place it accepts a token or “alt service” login.
3. Paste the token and launch.

### Examples of supported clients

* [Aristois](https://aristois.net/)
* [Impact](https://impactclient.net/)
* [LiquidBounce](https://liquidbounce.net/)
* [OQMineBot](https://minecraftbot.com/)

These links go to the official sites so you can follow their setup guides or downloads.&#x20;

### How to tell if your client is supported

* There’s a field or toggle for “TheAltening” or “token login.”
* The docs mention integration with an alt service or our API.
* You can launch after pasting a token without running any extra helper.

If your client isn’t on the list or doesn’t accept tokens directly, use the Authenticator path instead.
