}Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
input | string | Yes | A NIP-19 identifier (npub1..., note1..., nprofile1..., nevent1... or naddr1..., an optional 'nostr:' prefix is accepted) or a NIP-05 address (name@domain, or a bare domain for _@domain). Secret keys (nsec1...) are refused and never decoded. |
verify_nip05 | string or null | No | Optional NIP-05 address (name@domain) to check against the key of an npub, nprofile, nevent (with author) or naddr: the domain's nostr.json must map the name to that key (result nip05.verified). Default: null. |
