Verify an internet identifier¶

A profile may claim an address such as [email protected]. To check it, fetch the NIP-05 record published by that domain and compare the returned public key with the profile author's key. The record comes from /.well-known/nostr.json:

// split "[email protected]" into [name, domain]
Nip05Identity id = Nip05.fetch("[email protected]", Duration.ofSeconds(10)).await();

NostrPublicKey pubkey = id.getPublicKey();
id.getName();        // "alice"
id.getDomain();      // "example.com"
id.getIdentifier();  // "[email protected]"

Use HTTPS for these lookups. For plain HTTP in test environments, use the useHttps overload.

Some domains also publish remote-signer details. Read them with id.getNip46Data() if you want to offer a nip-46 connection. The original response is available as id.data.
