TL;DR: Please let me know how to fetch the hostname of my hidden service from Tor's control port.
There are two types of onion services: "on disk" ones configured via torrc/SETCONF and the HiddenServiceDir and related options **or** "ephemeral" onions, created via the recently added ADD_ONION command. In the latter case, you can list them with GETINFOs on "onions/current" or "onions/detached" depending on the options when you created them. For the "HiddenServiceDir" onions, the only way to get the onion address that I know of is by reading the "hostname" file. Can you describe what you're trying to do? -- meejah
