  • What public key do you want? GRANDPA? BABE? Stash?

I think you have the session pallet in your runtime.

PolkadotApps -> chain state -> session -> queuedKeys

enter image description here

If you want to do this in code.

Query the twox128(b"Session") + twox128(b"QueuedKeys").

  • You could use Subalfred to calculate the storage key. Then query the storage key through rpc use reqwest or whatever you like. Or you could use subxt. Please check its document for more detail.
