myPubKey

Finalized

Introduction

The myPubKey method retrieves the full public key associated with the primary address of a wallet managed by the node. The public key is a core component of a wallet's cryptographic identity and is used to verify signatures on transactions originating from the wallet's primary address.

This endpoint provides a direct way to query this essential piece of data.

  "id": 1,
  "error": null
}

Example Error Response

An error may be returned if, for example, the provided wallet address is in an invalid format.

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": null,
    "id": 1,
    "error": {
        "code": -32602,
        "message": "Invalid address format."
    }
}

Behavioral Notes

Primary Address Only: This method returns the public key for the wallet's primary address. It does not provide the public keys for any other addresses that may be controlled by the same wallet (e.g., change addresses).
Encoding: The public key is always returned as a hexadecimal string.
Default Wallet: If the wallet parameter is not provided, the query will execute on the default wallet loaded by the DLT node.
