# auto-stake (/docs/query/auto-stake)

**Category:** Staking

## Parameters [#parameters]

| Parameter      | Type    | Description                                   |
| -------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `coldkey_ss58` | string  | Coldkey whose auto-stake destination to read. |
| `netuid`       | integer | Subnet to query.                              |

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query auto-stake --coldkey <ss58|name> --netuid <integer> --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.staking.auto_stake(coldkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("auto_stake", coldkey_ss58="5F...", netuid=1)
```

Async is the same surface awaited: `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`.
