-**Fulfil**: <code>Hash[]</code> tips - Array of tip transaction hashes  
-**Reject**: <code>Error</code> error - Fetch error: The connected IOTA node's API returned an error. See the [list of error messages](https://docs.iota.org/docs/node-software/0.1/iri/references/api-errors)

-| --- | --- | --- |

-
-This method finds all transactions that aren't referenced by other transactions in the Tangle
-by calling the connected IRI node's [`getTips`](https://docs.iota.org/docs/node-software/0.1/iri/references/api-reference#gettips) endpoint.
-
-## Related methods
-
-To find two consistent tip transactions to use as branch and trunk transactions, use the [`getTransactionsToApprove()`](#module_core.getTransactionsToApprove) method.
-
-**Example**  
-```js
-getTips()
-  .then(tips => {
-    console.log('Found the following tip transactions:');
-    console.log(JSON.stringify(tips));
-  })
-  .catch(error => {
