English

Add pay-per-call Bitcoin Lightning payments to any Python API. Works with FastAPI and Flask. No account. No bank. No chargebacks.

How it works

Client calls your API
  → Returns 402 + Lightning invoice
  → Client pays (< 1 second)
  → Client sends cryptographic proof
  → SHA256(preimage) == paymentHash ✓
  → API responds 200 + data

Money flow (managed mode):
  Payment → ShinyDapps → 99.7% to your Lightning Address
                       → 0.3% fee to ShinyDapps

FastAPI quickstart (Managed — 0.3% fee, no node needed)

from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from l402kit import l402_required, ManagedProvider

app = FastAPI()
lightning = ManagedProvider.from_address("[e-mail]")

@app.get("/")
async def root():
    return {"message": "Try GET /premium"}

# Costs 100 sats (~$0.10) per call — 99.7% goes directly to your Lightning address
@app.get("/premium")
@l402_required(price_sats=100, lightning=lightning)
async def premium(request: Request):
    return {"data": "Payment confirmed. Here is your data."}

Flask quickstart

from flask import Flask, jsonify
from l402kit import l402_required, ManagedProvider

app = Flask(__name__)
lightning = ManagedProvider.from_address("[e-mail]")

@app.get("/premium")
@l402_required(price_sats=100, lightning=lightning)
def premium():
    return jsonify({"data": "Payment confirmed."})

Test it

uvicorn main:app --reload

# First call — payment challenge
curl http://localhost:8000/premium
# → { "error": "Payment Required", "invoice": "lnbc1u...", "macaroon": "eyJ..." }

# Pay invoice with any Lightning wallet, then:
curl http://localhost:8000/premium \
  -H "Authorization: L402 <macaroon>:<preimage>"
# → { "data": "Payment confirmed." }

import os
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from l402kit import l402_required, BlinkProvider

app = FastAPI()

lightning = BlinkProvider(
    api_key=os.environ["BLINK_API_KEY"],

Security

Every payment is cryptographically verified — impossible to fake:

SHA256(preimage) == paymentHash

• Anti-replay: each preimage works exactly once
• Expiry: tokens expire after 1 hour
• Open source: github.com/ShinyDapps/l402-kit

Get started in seconds

Managed mode — just pass your Lightning address. l402kit.com handles invoices and routes 99.7% to you. 0.3% flat fee.

Sovereign mode (0% fee) — sign up at dashboard.blink.sv (free, no credit card) and use BlinkProvider with your API key.
