# Lighthouse REST API: `/network`

The `/network` endpoints provide information about the p2p network that
Lighthouse uses to communicate with other beacon nodes.

## Endpoints

HTTP Path | Description |
| --- | -- |
[`/network/enr`](#networkenr) | Get the local node's `ENR` as base64 .
[`/network/peer_count`](#networkpeer_count) | Get the count of connected peers.
[`/network/peer_id`](#networkpeer_id) | Get a node's libp2p `PeerId`.
[`/network/peers`](#networkpeers) | List a node's connected peers (as `PeerIds`).
[`/network/listen_port`](#networklisten_port) | Get a node's libp2p listening port.
[`/network/listen_addresses`](#networklisten_addresses) | Get a list of libp2p multiaddr the node is listening on.

## `network/enr`

Requests the beacon node for its listening `ENR` address.
