getIdentity

getIdentity returns the identity public key for the node that handled the request. It takes no parameters and is one of the cheapest read methods on the Solana surface, which makes it useful as a connectivity / auth smoke-test: a successful response confirms your key is valid and the endpoint is reachable.

Because requests are load-balanced across a pool of upstream nodes, the identity value you receive may differ from one call to the next. Treat it as the identity of whichever node served this particular request, not as a stable identifier for your connection.

This method takes no parameters. Send an empty params array.

JavaScript (fetch)

const res = await fetch("https://api.triport.io/v1/sol", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.TRIPORT_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: "2.0",
    id: 1,
    method: "getIdentity",
    params: [],
  }),
});


const { result } = await res.json();
console.log(result.identity);

TypeScript SDK (@triport/sdk)

import { TriportClient } from "@triport/sdk";


const client = new TriportClient({ apiKey: process.env.TRIPORT_API_KEY! });


const { identity } = await client.sol.getIdentity();
console.log(identity);

Python (triport-sdk)

import os
from triport import TriportClient


client = TriportClient(api_key=os.environ["TRIPORT_API_KEY"])


result = client.sol.get_identity()
print(result["identity"])

• The returned identity reflects the node that served this request and is not guaranteed to be stable across calls.
• For broader node and cluster information, see getClusterNodes, and for liveness checks see getHealth.
• Rate limiting is per-second by tier with burst allowance; there is no daily quota. See rate limits and tiers.
