Get your node's peerId information

NODE_TYPE=full
AUTH_TOKEN=$(celestia $NODE_TYPE auth admin)

Then you can get the peerId of your node with the following curl command

curl -X POST \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $AUTH_TOKEN" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"method":"p2p.Info","params":[]}' \
