Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
hotkey_ss58	string	Delegate hotkey to look up.

CLI

btcli query delegate --hotkey <ss58|name> --json

Python

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.delegation.delegate(hotkey_ss58="5F...")

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

result = sub.read("delegate", hotkey_ss58="5F...")

Async is the same surface awaited: async with bt.Subtensor() as client:.
