API marketplace powered by Lightning Network and Cashu tokens
Lightning API keys combine Macaroons with Lightning Network payments, enabling secure pay-per-request authentication. Macaroons provide bearer tokens that can be verified cryptographically without server lookups.
HTTP 402 Payment Required responses with X-Cashu headers enable Cashu token payments. Servers respond with payment requests containing amount, unit, accepted mints, and locking conditions.
All APIs follow OpenAPI 3.0 specifications for consistent documentation, validation, and integration. Standardized schemas ensure seamless developer experience across different API providers.
API metadata and discovery information stored on Nostr protocol for censorship-resistant, decentralized access. No central authority controls API listings or availability.
