HKP Client
This libary implements a client for the OpenPGP HTTP Keyserver Protocol (HKP) in order to lookup and upload keys on standard public key servers.
Examples
Lookup public key on HKP server
import HKP from '@openpgp/hkp-client';
import { readKey } from 'openpgp';
(async () => {
const hkp = new HKP(); // Defaults to https://keyserver.ubuntu.com, or pass another keyserver URL as a string
const publicKeyArmored = await hkp.lookup({
query: 'alice@example.com'
});
const publicKey = await readKey({
armoredKey: publicKeyArmored
});
})();Upload public key to HKP server
import HKP from '@openpgp/hkp-client';
(async () => {
const hkp = new HKP('https://pgp.mit.edu');
const publicKeyArmored = `-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
...
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----`;
await hkp.upload(publicKeyArmored);
})();
