Check canister exists when not controller

Developers

Good morning,

I’m just wondering if there is a quick way to check if a canister exists. I can’t use dfx canister status as I’m not the controller, the OpenFPL backend is.

Just wondering if I can check if a canister exists, like ping the canister or something, without putting code into the OpenFPL backend canister to check.

Thanks,
James

What about dfx canister info? It displays the wasm module hash and the controller, all publicly readable.
