DIDs
Resolve an alias
Look up the Talaria DID currently associated with a public alias
An alias is a short, human-friendly public name that points to a Talaria DID. Use this endpoint when a person gives your application an alias instead of a complete
did:talaria:... identifier.
Alias lookup is read-only and requires no signature.
Before you use an alias
Aliases improve usability, but the DID remains the cryptographic identity. Resolve the returned DID before selecting keys or sending a message. The Directory normalizes aliases to lowercase. Valid aliases use letters, digits,_, ., @, and -, with a maximum length of 64 characters.
