Given a short address, convert it or obtain a long one (f0 -> f4)

[GildedHonour]

Given a short address f0, can it be converted into a long one -- f4? Preferably, locally without any request. Otherwise, via a RPC request to a node. Otherwise,via a third-party gateway API.

Who had marked it as the answer before I even looked at it?

You asked the same question in Slack which was then answered @GildedHonour.

To quote:

use StateAccountKey
But it only works for normal F1 F3 addresses
if you want lookup actor
you can use StateLookupRobustAddress

It is not possible to convert directly to f4 as stated in the linked thread!
