Get local daemon identity (loopback/socket only)

GET

/api/instance

const url = 'http://localhost:9477/api/instance';
const options = {method: 'GET'};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

curl --request GET \
  --url http://localhost:9477/api/instance

Returns the running daemon’s datadir, config path, socket path, pid, version and fingerprint. Used by a second runwisp that hit a port conflict to discover and offer to connect to or stop this daemon. Always 403 over non-loopback TCP — the paths are local-only.
