How to obtain the public key (not public hash - PKH) using taquito

Question

In order to use the verifySignature method in Taquito, I need the public key of the wallet. I can only find the public key hash method - am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Below is how I obtain the wallet public key hash:

wallet.requestPermissions({ network: { type: 'hangzhounet' } })
      .then(() => wallet.getPKH());

Taquito doesn't have such a feature per se, but you can access this piece of information through the client property of the wallet instance, which contains the same data as the DappClient instance of the @airgap/beacon-sdk package:

const wallet = new BeaconWallet(OPTIONS);
const activeAccount = await wallet.client.getActiveAccount();
const { publicKey } = activeAccount;

Answer 2

This requires a RPC query to the node. You can use RpcClient.getManagerKey():

import { RpcClient } from '@taquito/rpc';
const rpcClient = new RpcClient('https://ghostnet.ecadinfra.com/');

const pkh = 'tz1a496f48q8idHSEbhAe3dc9vE9sTX3DEJi'; // Replace with the PKH you want to get the public key for
rpcClient.getManagerKey(pkh).then(publicKey => console.log(`Public key for manager with PKH ${pkh}: ${publicKey}`));

The doc for this function is:
