we've added support for NIP-66 Relay Monitor and Relay Discovery events.
you can query for monitors with
req -k 10166 relay.nostr.watch
https://lightning.red/ba3178f3e6f601ed3af1856d65eed89c02e9eac4f10bed6d2e0bdd5a3d2e0ca8.moov
try this one for relay discovery events
req -k 30166 relay.nostr.watch
https://lightning.red/ca1a0b91bce875877afae143b6d2bb326d555bb9269f66cd5bf7297d42f8c1da.moov
you can do some interesting queries with NIP-66. a few examples:
discover relays supporting NIP-29 groups that don't require auth
req -k 30166 -T N 29 -T R !auth relay.nostr.watch
find relays in Spain
req -k 30166 -T l ES relay.nostr.watch
or discover information about a relay from multiple monitors
req -k 30166 -T d wss://lightning.red/ relay.nostr.watch
